Piano Sonata no. 18 in G major, D.894, op. 78, "Fantasy"

Franz Schubert's Piano Sonata in G major, Op. 78, D. 894 was completed in October 1826. The work is sometimes called the "Fantasie", a title which the publisher Tobias Haslinger, rather than Schubert, gave to the first movement of the work. It was the last of Schubert's sonatas published during his lifetime, and was later described by Robert Schumann as the "most perfect in form and conception" of any of Schubert's sonatas. A typical performance runs approximately 35 minutes.
