Allegretto

Schubert D. 566, 2nd movement.

I had got to know its existence by recordings of W. Kempff and A. Schiff and attended a live concert last year. But I was not definitely attracted until I listened to a live performance recently >.< Attracted = Feel like to play it!

So the search engine began to run! But I only could find people were in the same problem as me...
Yes, I bet Henle has the complete sonata, by the remarks offered for free it is already proved; perhaps Wiener Urtext also includes it. But I will not pay more than 30 EUR just for a movement.
Then I checked other publishers on Amazon and PrestoClassical, none seems to have this mov., except the two mentioned above. Later, on Chinese New Year's Eve, as I was off work one hour earlier I could finally go to the only music bookstore in BCN, Casa Beethoven, to reassure Henle's score. What a pleasure it was just to read it in front of your eyes!

So, this noon I have gone to ESMUC's library for the FIRST time. All was OK. There was no entrance control. And I finally chose another publisher's clothbound. (Uff, it has been really long since I used a machine to buy a university photocopy card for the last time T_T)

Cost: No time for lunch today
