Description
Summary:This dissertation claims that the four-hand works of Franz Schubert have been comparatively neglected. The claim is based on the realisation that most of the scholarly work on Schubert either pays only cursory mention to this genre of his works or makes no reference to the genre at all. This situation therefore needs to be redressed since Schubert's huge output in this genre as well as the intention with which much of the genre was written seems to point to the fact that the works must have been of importance to him. One cannot truly appreciate Schubert while neglecting a genre on which he placed much value.
