Merge proposal[edit]

Oppose merge. These are two separate works, in different keys, each with its own D. number. D.567 dates from 1817. D. 568, which is largely a transposition of D. 567, dates from some years later, with a completion to the finale.--Smerus (talk) 07:16, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's no proposal to merge Piano Sonata in D-flat major D. 567 (Schubert) into Piano Sonata in E-flat major D. 568 (Schubert)

The proposal is to merge Piano Sonata in D-flat major D. 567 (Schubert) into Piano Sonata in D-flat major D. 568 (Schubert) (resulting in that page no longer redirecting to Piano Sonata in E-flat major D. 568 (Schubert)).

It's only about the D. number: the D-flat major version used to be D. 567, according to older versions of the Deutsch catalogue. Currently the D-flat major version of this sonata shares the same D. number (568) with the E-flat major version. See the website of Neue Schubert-Ausgabe (ultimate authority on D numbers: they are the current updaters of the Deutsch catalogue): [1] — the last sentence of that page on D 568 ("1. Fassung in Des früher D 567") translates as: first version (of this sonata) in D-flat major used to be D 567 (emphasis added). See also [2] which lists both versions of the sonata as D 568. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:49, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not so. Although the Schubert Datenbank mentions the D flat version as '1. Fassung in Des früher D 567', it still lists the D flat version as D 567.. It is therefore not at all clear to me that the D. 567 numbering for the D flat version has been in any way dropped or cancelled. Might 'früher' here mean 'earlier given the number of' (i.e. and still has it), rather than 'formerly given the number of' (and doesn't have it any more)? As the Datebank is equivocal on this, it is not for us to make any preferred conclusions. They after all two different pieces of music (although one is only an updating and transposition of the other), D. 568 revised some eight or nine years after D. 567. This page Piano Sonata in D-flat major D. 568 (Schubert) should in fact be deleted as there appears to be no citable authority for such a title. --Smerus (talk) 19:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
