A piano duet work from 1828, the year of Schubert's death. The title "Lebensstürme" (Storms of Life) was apparently not given by Schubert himself, but was added at the time of its publication in 1840. However, the intensity of the opening certainly makes it unsurprising to associate it with a storm. It is often hailed as a masterpiece alongside the Fantasie in F minor, D 940, another piano duet from the same year.
