Among Schubert's compositions are rare and overlooked works for solo piano that reflect staging posts of his short compositional life. As a boy he had studied with Salieri who almost certainly encouraged him to explore contrapuntal techniques in 1812 - the fugues and fugal expositions he wrote are testament to his secure grounding in the form. Schubert's admiration for Mozart is clear in the Fantasy in C minor, while the substantial Two Scherzi, D. 593 show early mastery. Also included is the Allegro in E major, Schubert's first, unfinished attempt at a piano sonata.
