The Piano Sonata in E minor Template:D. 566 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano written in June 1817. The original manuscript appeared to lack a finale.[1] Ludwig Scheibler (1848-1921) was the first to suggest in 1905 that the Rondo in E, D.506 might be that movement.[2] The British composer and musicologist Kathleen Dale produced the first edition using this suggestion in 1948.[3] The 1976 Henle edition by Paul Badura-Skoda followed the same practice.[4]

Movements

I. Moderato

E minor
Harald Krebs has noted the use of Charles Fisk's "search for thematic identity" in his discussion of the sonata's opening theme.[5]

II. Allegretto

E major

III. Scherzo: Allegro vivace - Trio

A-flat major

(IV. Rondo: Allegretto, D 506)

E major
D 506 has been associated with the last piece of Fünf Klavierstücke (D 459A/3) and the Adagio D 349 too as a set of movements that might form a sonata.[6]

The work takes approximately 20 minutes to perform or 25–30 minutes with the rondo finale.
