This Edition is based on the manuscript which can be found on www .imslp.org  please note that due to Schuberts handwr iting, it is sometimes not cl ear, wether it is a hairpin or an accent. They are not always what they seem, please use your own judgement. Also note the difference between "decrescendo" and "diminuendo". Schubert often uses "diminuendo" in combination with a slight "rallentando" or calmando. When "decrescendo is marked, you should stay in tempo. In order to avoid page turns in the 2 & 3 mouvement, the size of the writing had to be very small. This is useful if you are not playing by heart.

The Sonata in A minor for Arpeggione and Piano, D. 821, was written by Franz Schubert

in Vienna in November 1824. The sonata is the only substantial composition for the

arpeggione (which was essentially a bowed guitar) which remains extinct today. It belongs

to the same period as the Death and the Maiden Quartet, when Schubert was suffering from

the advanced stages of syphilis and lapsing into increasingly frequent episodes of depression.

The head of the first theme in the first mouvement is identical with the "unfinished" Symphony

and the first 4 notes represent the theme of death.The piece was probably commissioned by Schubert's friend Vincenz Schuster, who was a

the first arpeggione player, an instrument which had been invented only the previous year by

Georg Stauffer. Vincent Schuster also wrote a Method for the "Guitar-Cello" published by

A. Diabelli et Comp, n.d.(ca.1825), Plate D. et C. No.2052.

By the time the sonata was published posthumously in 1871, the enthusiasm for the

novelty of the arpeggione had long since vanished, together with the instrument itself.

Today, the piece is heard almost exclusively in transcriptions for cello and piano or 

viola and piano that were arranged after the posthumous publication, although versions

that substitute other instruments, including the double bass, the flute, the euphonium

and the clarinet, or the guitar for the piano part are also performed. Transcribers

have attempted to address the problems posed by the smaller playing range of these

alternative instruments, in comparison with the arpeggione, as well as the attendant

modifications in articulation (4 versus 6 strings).

At first the instrument was called „Gitarren-Violoncell“ (Guitar-Cello). The name "Arpeggione"

was added later as an attempt to boost sales. The business model of the instrument itself was actually

very smart: At the time, a lot of people who could not afford a piano in Vienna would buy a Guitar. The guitar was already

 popular and to achieve the additional skills of using a bow to play more legato and singing tone were easy to learn.
