Schubert composed his Arpeggione Sonata a year after the invention of this peculiar instrument, essentially a cross between a guitar and a cello. It has since been transcribed to more commonly-played instruments; in the upcoming concert, Katherine Murdock will perform the sonata on the viola.
Below we present a recording of the first movement on the original instruments for which this sonata was written with Nicolas Deletaille on the arpeggione and Alain Roudier on the fortepiano.
