thanks to Youtube, and what to say about Alfred BRENDEL who is giving us so much ! I always wonder how music could be so great when played by such a genius, Schubert is a genius too but he is magnified by the talent of pianist like BRENDEL. I agree with other listeners finding Schubert's music tragic, listening BRENDEL I nearly see Schubert talking desperatly with his piano, already in an other world...(excuse my english, am french)

@lokopiano I really wonder what difference between our brains makes you hate the second part of this piece, while it touches me more than almost anything. Our family doctor died from cancer. Thats tragical, but I cant cry about it. But somehow (I don't understand it either), this piece of music does make me cry. About him, about life.

I wonder why the Klavierstücke D.946 remain so unknown today. I mean even some pianists ignore their existence. That's a shame, they deserve as much consideration as the impromptus. Some believe that Schubert intended to make four of them and publish them as a 3rd group of impromptus. If it had been the case, they probably be just as popular as the 8 other impromptus.

thank you so much!! I love this particular piece!
All your comments comes to one single truth: Schubert was a genius. And Alfred Brendel pays tribute to this genius with his magical interpretation. The piece is so full of contrasting feelings. I found my self listening to it many many times, and I cannot get tired of it.

I find the section beginning 4:49 to be a very tense and gripping moment, with a sort of desperate need to hold on to something that is already lost.....a tragic loss, destiny of fate.....it is simply full of beautiful notes etching the path of expression, and Brendel paints the picture well!
