Opus 142 (D 935) by Franz Schubert are now available in PS Urtext edition.<\/p>\n

This collection of four Impromptus starts and concludes with pieces in the same key (F-minor) which is one of the reasons for the speculations by Robert Schumann that parts of this opus was originally intended as a sonata (although refuted by some contemporary musicologists) but was instead published as separate pieces in order to increase the sales potential.<\/p>\n

Schubert: Impromptu, Opus 142 No 1<\/a>
\n\"SchubertA dramatic, recitativo-like introduction followed by the second theme hidden in a 16th notes texture set us in a mood for a quite large scale piece. The middle section is very peaceful featuring unique pianistic effects. The structure of the first Impromtu can be interpreted as a sonata form without a development section, supporting the view of the four Impromptus Opus 142 as movements of a single sonata.<\/p>\n

Schubert: Impromptu, Opus 142 No 2<\/a>
\n\"Schubert
\nThis well known minuet-like Impromptu has a main section consisting of a simple, well-balanced melody with chordal accompaniment. A D-flat major section featuring an arpeggiated texture forms the Trio (middle section in minuet form).
\nThe opening bars of the melody are highly reminiscent of a similar theme, from the opening of Beethoven’s Sonata op 26.<\/a><\/p>\n

Schubert: Impromptu, Opus 142 No 3<\/a>
\n\"Schubert
\nThe charming third Impromptu is a theme with five variations. Shubert has used this theme twice before, in the incidental music composed for the play Rosamunde (Ch\u00e9zy, 1823) and in the slow movement of his A-minor String Quartet.<\/p>\n

Schubert: Impromptu, Opus 142 No 4<\/a>
\n\"Schubert
\nThe opus concludes with one of Schubert’s most brilliant and rhytmically vital works, a quick 3\/8 tempo piece containg interesting hemiola effects, virtuosic passagework as well as surprising modulations which take the piece quite far from its main key of F minor.
\nThe impressive coda influenced by Hungarian rhythms further heightens the drama in this already intense piece which is finished off by an astonishing six octaves descending scale through the entire tonal space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
