this is the third of four Impromptus written by Franz Schubert in about 1827, about a year before Schubert died at the age of 31.

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impromptus_(Schubert):

No. 3 in G-flat major

The third of the Op. 90 Impromptus, in G-flat major, is characterised by the sustained contrast of relatively slow, stationary themes with the constant rapid movement of broken triads in the middle registers. The piece exploits this contrast in order to establish the paradoxical impression of being both simplistic and complex, static and dynamic, beautiful and brutish -- all at the same time. It is perhaps because of this Janus-like duplicity, along with its easily accessible melodies and the high level of technical proficiency required for performance, that the piece was featured prominently in the 1997 film Gattaca -- with slight modifications, of course, which rendered it unplayable by a ten fingers.

Though written in G-flat major, it was long transposed to and printed in G major (a much simpler key). The original version is now generally preferred.

My apologies but in order to get under 100 megabites and upload to YT, I had to cut off the first 17 seconds of this reading. It is just a reading, so please donT expect the most brillian performance.

But for you music lovers, I suggest you just sit back and listen instead of watching for there is not so much to see, but its a beautiful piece.

here's to a beautifuLovingr8 peace surrounding everyoneverywhereveryday.

best from japan,
