Jacqueline Ross and Maggie Cole offer copiously researched, historically informed accounts of Franz Schubert’s four contributions to the sonata for violin and keyboard, performed on period instruments and with due reference to autograph and other relevant source materials. These youthful works have a Mozartian grace and lucidity, yet demonstrate the fertile melodic invention and subtle harmonic language of a composer who had a particular affinity with the human voice. As Beethoven is reported to have remarked, ‘Truly in Schubert there dwells a divine spark’.
