These recordings are found automatically, and the machine still gets it wrong. One click from you — yes or no — fixes the catalogue for every musician who opens this page after you. Across our 10,000 works, your answer is our only real quality check.
An arrangement or transcription is fine: if you recognise the work, answer yes. Answer no if it is a different work, a different composer, or if the recording does not play.

This Andante movement has a measured gentleness and lyrical clarity, with phrases that breathe and pointed accents that require maintaining a singing legato without losing the underlying pulse. You will need to actively use your Knowledge of form (3.6/5) to make reprises and small transitions clear: this means identifying the periods and slightly varying articulation and voice balance so the structure remains audible. Work on Tempo rubato (3.1/5) is also concrete here — apply very slight anticipations or delays in the right hand while keeping a steady bass, rather than making large tempo fluctuations. It is an early Schubert sonata, part of his first works for piano, and already reveals his taste for lyrical melody and evocative harmonic turns.
