Kempff plays Schubert Impromptu op.142 (D 935) no.1

Impromptu op.142 (D 935) no.1 in F minor, composed in 1827, recorded in 1965.

~

As the first and last pieces of Op.posth 142 (D 935) impromptus are in the same key, F minor, and the set bears some resemblance to a 4-movement sonata, these Impromptus have been thought of being a sonata in disguise, notably by Robert Schumann and Alfred Einstein, who claim that Schubert called them Impromptus, and allowed them to be individually published to enhance their sales potential.

However, this claim has been refuted by contemporary musicologists such as Charles Fisk, who established important differences between the set of Impromptus and Schubert's acknowledged multi-movement works.

Just beautiful, Kempff plays some of the best Schubert from all the great pianists, he is amazing,... and what an amazing sound he has at the piano,...
