Can anybody find a copy of Schubert's original (uncut) final movement of the second Piano Trio (D.929/ Op.100 in E flat)?
I heard a performance of it yesterday and I was intrigued. One minute you're in familiar Schubert territory and the next minute the music seems to detour into this alternate universe which is just as beautiful but completely different - like those dreams where you know where you are but nothing around you is the same.

Schubert Piano Trio No.2 - original finale
“all great composers wrote music that could be described as ‘heavenly’; but others have to take you there. In Schubert’s music you hear the very first notes, and you know that you’re there already.” - Steven Isserlis

Anybody? Any information at all?
Even a manuscript?

Same here....does ANY music publisher issue the sheet music to the complete finale? I first heard it around ten years ago and was stunned. The hundred cut measures are probably the most interesting music in the movement. Restoring this material converts a pretty traditional rondo form into a movement in full sonata allegro form...replete with exposition, development and recap. He combines the basic thematic material of the movement in ways that do not appear elsewhere.
Since it's been recorded pretty frequently over the past few years, the sheet music MUST be available from somewhere. All these groups can't be using a manuscript!!

Bärenreiter publishes it with the intact version and with the composer-sanctioned cuts, so that one can perform it either way. Catalogue number is BA 5610 for the entire trio. About $35.00.
