The Piano Sonata No. 1 in F♯ minor, Op. 11, was composed by Robert Schumann from 1833 to 1835. He published it anonymously as "Pianoforte Sonata, dedicated to Clara by Florestan and Eusebius".
Eric Frederick Jensen describes the sonata as 'the most unconventional and the most intriguing' of Schumann's piano sonatas due to its unusual structure.[1][2] The Aria is based on his earlier Lied setting, "An Anna" or "Nicht im Thale".[3] Schumann later told his wife, Clara, that the sonata was "a solitary outcry for you from my heart ... in which your theme appears in every possible shape".[4]
The four movements are as follows:
- Un poco adagio - Allegro vivace (F♯ minor)
- Aria: Senza passione, ma espressivo (A major)
- Scherzo: Allegrissimo (F♯ minor) – Intermezzo: Lento. Alla burla, ma pomposo (D major) – Tempo I
- Finale: Allegro un poco maestoso (F♯ minor, ending in the tonic major)
