Schubert: The Early Piano Works ed. Pat Goddard

Pat Goddard was left to ponder what the great composers were doing in their early years. Following meticulous research, the result was a new series for piano: Great Little Composers.

The examples of Schubert’s early piano works included in this album were written when Schubert was between the ages of 15 and 24. During this time he was trained in composition by Antonio Salieri and greatly influenced by the symphonies and overtures of Mozart. The last piece, however, shows the maturing of Schubert’s harmonic language — a harbinger of his future individuality.
