Easy Schubert?

[fhertzbe]

Any suggestions for easy (abt. level 5) Schubert? I love his music; the shifts from major to minor, the classical clarity or crispness, the clear-cut melodies. Yet few of the "easy" pieces seem to have these qualities. Thankful for any recommendations.

The various collections of waltzes and landler could be worth a look.
Another approach is to investigate the song collections & play through some of the accompaniments. These are of such high quality that they satisfy even without the singer!

How about :
    * "Serenade"  Op 134
    *  Valse Sentimentale

D845? thats pretty good

Allegretto c-minor D915, very beautiful.

D845? thats pretty good

And way way WAY above level 5. Don't try a sonata yet.

I'd would suggest either the Allegretto previously mentioned by pianowolfi, maybe one of the Moment Musicals, or a group of the Landler.

Thanks, I'll look into these. I actually began practising the Impromptu in G flat major D899 No.3, which seems easier than I first thought.

That's definatly a good one. It's good practice in voicing and tone control.

Listen to this one and see if you like it:

It says Level 7 but that's not true at all.  This piece is easy, just a few right hand runs, but nothing major.

Op. 90/2 sounds more difficult than 90/3 (beautifully played by Brendel

)

This is perhaps a question better addressed to the "Performance" group, but is it better to stick to the difficult parts and practice them until you're fluent and then go forward, or is it better to try force yourself through the whole piece every time?
