This volume also contains excellent essays on two of Schubert’s late piano sonatas (D. 894 and D. 960) by Robert Hatten (pp. 151–68) and Roy Howat (pp. 117–38).

4 Beethoven showed little inclination for supernatural references in his music. Two notable exceptions are the overture to Christus am Oelberge and the slow movement of the Piano Trio in D, Op. 70 No 1, which subsequently led to the work’s nickname ‘Ghost’.
