Franz Schubert's Scherzos (2), D. 593, is a set of two scherzos composed in 1817. The pieces were not published during Schubert's lifetime and were only discovered and published in the 19th century. The premiere of the Scherzos (2), D. 593, is unknown. The first scherzo, marked Allegretto, is in the key of B-flat major and is in ternary form. The piece begins with a playful and light-hearted melody in the right hand, accompanied by a simple chord progression in the left hand. The middle section of the scherzo is in the key of G minor and features a more dramatic and intense melody. The piece returns to the original melody in the final section, which is marked by a coda that brings the piece to a lively and energetic close. The second scherzo, marked Allegro moderato, is in the key of D-flat major and is also in ternary form. The piece begins with a gentle and flowing melody in the right hand, accompanied by a simple chord progression in the left hand. The middle section of the scherzo is in the key of B major and features a more complex and intricate melody. The piece returns to the original melody in the final section, which is marked by a coda that brings the piece to a lively and energetic close. Both scherzos are characterized by their playful and light-hearted melodies, as well as their use of simple chord progressions and ternary form. The pieces showcase Schubert's skill in creating charming and delightful music that is both accessible and enjoyable to listen to. The Scherzos (2), D. 593, are a testament to Schubert's talent as a composer and his ability to create music that is both beautiful and entertaining.
