At the Piano Schubert: 12 Well-Known Original Pieces for Piano

Of the twelve composers in our series At the piano, Franz Schubert was undoubtedly the least at home at the piano but nevertheless what masterpieces he left us for this instrument! There is hardly any pianist who is not immediately captivated by the cheerful yet melancholy atmosphere of Schuberts impromptus and Moments musicaux. Even the simple pieces by Schubert at the beginning of this volume have surprising twists in store that afford them a profundity of their own. Nor are his dances mere entertainment. No matter how charming they may seem on the surface, there is always a wistful tone in his waltzes and lndler. This seems to reflect the gravely ill composers presentiment of his own death.
