Nelson Goerner plays Mozart, Schumann and Schubert at Wigmore Hall

Sam Wigglesworth, 11th September

How radical can an exposition repeat be? Well, in the hands of Schubert, very radical indeed, it turns out. The sheer scale of the Molto moderato which opens his final piano sonata means that by the time the opening material returns a huge swathe of time has passed, so much so that each re-encountered phrase is seen in the light of all that happened in the mean time.
