Do we know that this work, which remains very popular, was in fact a kind of " spotlight "?! Johan Georg Staufer commissioned it from Schubert to promote the new instrument he had developed, the arpeggione, a kind of cello-guitar. The arpeggione disappeared, the Sonata remained. Its charm, its melancholy character without heaviness, this spirit of instrumental song has touched all audiences - both in its most frequent transcription, and the one closest to the original, for cello and piano, and in other pairings (clarinet and piano, viola and piano, flute and piano, double bass and piano...). The recording made by Mstislav Rostropovitch with the composer Benjamin Britten, who was also an excellent pianist, is a discreetly nostalgic gem of elegance where the two instruments dialogue like two friends, in a harmony of sonorities that allows each one to blossom at its best, from the supple piano, full of nuances, to the cello that delivers its intimate singing with a modest restraint. And what a sound! An unmixed pleasure.
