Allegretto in C minor, D. 915 (Schubert)
Movements
Notes
Allegretto in C minor D 915 is a short piano piece written on 26 April 1827. The immediate occasion for the composition was the departure of Schubert’s friend Ferdinand Walcher for a post in Venice; Schubert copied the piece into Walcher’s album at the latter’s farewell party. Note that the piece was composed only a month after the death of Beethoven, where Schubert had been one of the torchbearers at the funeral.
