Drei Klavierstücke D 946 - Allegretto C-moll D 915 - Grazer Fantasie C-Dur - Zwei Scherzi B-dur Und Des-dur D 593 - Menuett Und Trio A-dur D 334 - Adagio E-dur D 612

Released in 1976 by the East German state-owned label Eterna, this recording captures pianist Peter Rösel performing a selection of Franz Schubert's piano works. The album serves as a testament to the high standards of the Eterna label, which sought to document the prowess of GDR-based artists and the rich tradition of Germanic classical music performance. At the time of this release, Rösel was cementing his reputation as one of the preeminent pianists in the Eastern Bloc, known for his precision and deep stylistic understanding of the Romantic repertoire.

The selection highlights Schubert’s diverse formal range, from the introspective Drei Klavierstücke to the more buoyant character pieces like the Zwei Scherzi. The cover art and production design reflect Eterna's minimalist, clean aesthetic common to their mid-1970s classical releases, which prioritized the sonic quality of the recording over elaborate packaging. Within the broader context of classical discography, this release is valued by collectors for the clarity of Rösel’s interpretation and the specific acoustic character of the recordings produced in the VEB Deutsche Schallplatten studios.
