Schubert: Impromptu Op. 90 (D. 899) No. 2 in E-flat




Lisztonian: Classical Piano Music show

Summary: <p>This impromptu is one of four in the set (Opus 90). This is the second of the four impromptus. I have previously recorded <a href="/titles/Impromptu+No+4+in+A+flat+Major-34.html" title="Schubert Impromptu Op 90 No 4">Impromptu No. 4</a> and plan to record the remaining two impromptus in the future. This particular impromptu is quite a popular work by <a href="/composers/Franz+Schubert-9.html" title="Franz Schubert Piano Music">Schubert</a>. It is very common among the piano repertory and frequently played in solo recitals, especially among younger pianists. <br> <br>This impromptu is different from the majority of music from the same period because the piece ends in the tonic minor of the major key it begins in (E-flat). This recording was made in my home on my studio upright.</p>
