A Study of Schubert's Sonata in A Minor ¡§Arpeggione¡¨

The arpeggione is an instrument invented and built in1823 by the Viennese instrument maker Johann Georg Staufer. This instrument has the shape of guitar but bowed like a cello, thus it¡¦s called the ¡§guitar violoncello¡¨. During its short life lasted for no more than a decade, we are fortunate there survived an ¡§Arpeggione Sonata, D821¡¨ composed by Franz Schubert in 1824. This thesis discusses on the style of this composition and the historical background of arpeggione, with more focus on the interpretation and technique in the arrangement for cello. After arpeggione had vanished from the musical scene, several arrangements for different instruments of this work had published. The Spanish cellist Gasper Cassadó even expanded this work as a cello concerto, which is more suitable for cello playing. From these aspects, we can build up a more insight into this charming piece.
