A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

Schubert is a wonderful composer indeed.

Motrax digs his Bb major Sonata.

I'm a fan of his chamber music:
Trout Quintet
Der Hirt Auf Dem Felsen (Shepherd on the Rock)

Brillant!

i don't know whi the music world talks a lot about beethoven, mozart, bach, and others, and many times forget Schubert.. I think Schubert, sometimes, is incredible, and one of the greatest piano composers.. i like his piano sonatas, i played the D664,opus120, and i love it... His music is colourfull..
