Regarding Don Satz's overview of Schubert's Sonata for Piano, D.664:

I have to defer to Don's admission that his overviews are based only on
those recordings he happens to have in his possession.

At the same time I feel I have to mention -- lest any of Don's readers come
away with a limited impression -- recordings of this sonata, and very good
ones in my view, that should have been in Don's library before he attempted
such a survey.  I'm thinking of Vladimir Ashkenazy's 1966 recording for
Decca, and Leon Fleisher's earlier recording on Columbia (now one in Sony
Classical's Essential Classics series and eminently available for at least
a decade).
