The contrasting sections of this five-part form thus unfold in a dynamically evolving relationship to each other, quite unlike the symmetrical relationship of contrasting but complementary tableaux in the first piece. Published in 1828, the year Schubert died, and written between 1823 and 1828, the six Moments Musicaux (literally "musical moments") are amongst Schubert's best-loved works for piano and are as accessible to the competent amateur pianist as they are to the concert artist. ].

But Schubert's changes to major sound more often like inner transformations than like mere changes of mood: instead of introducing new material in the major mode into a context of the minor, Schubert typically transforms the same or almost the same gestures that were minor into major, as if the minor-mode music wanted to be major all along and is finally allowed to be. 40 in G minor, K. 550 .
