Schubert Four Impromptus Op. 90, D. 899

on: October 25, 2019, 10:00:57 PM

The four impromptus Op. 90, D. 899 by Franz Schubert.

No. 1 is a relatively new work for me. I have been playing Nos. 2-4 since I was a teenager (i.e., more than 50 years). Recorded at home and rendered with Garritan CFX Concert Grand.

0:00 No. 1 Allegro molto moderato (C minor)
9:35 No. 2 Allegro (E-flat major)
14:27 No. 3 Andante (G-flat major)
20:46 No. 4 Allegretto (A-flat major)
