Piano Sonata in B♭ major, D. 960 (1st mvt, molto moderato) - Franz Schubert | Music Sheet Sonata in B♭ major, D. 960 I. Molto moderato This movement employs a three-key exposition. The first theme introduces a G♭ trill that anticipates the following harmonic events – a shift to G♭ major in the central section of the main theme, and, after a return to the tonic, an enharmonic shift to F♯ minor at the start of the second theme. After a colorful harmonic excursion, the third tonal area arrives in the traditional dominant key (F major). In contrast to the previous sonatas, here the development section elaborates on several different themes from the exposition. It reaches a dramatic climax in D minor, in which the first theme is presented, fluctuating between D minor and the home key, in a manner similar to the parallel passage from the previous sonata (see above). In the recapitulation, the bass line in the first theme rises to B♭ instead of descending to F (as in the exposition), and the second theme enters in B minor, instead of F♯ minor. The rest of the exposition is repeated without alterations, transposed a fourth up, meaning that it returns to the home key, B♭, for the third tonal area. The coda once again recalls the first theme, although only fragmentarily.
