  • You guys argue way too much (truecrypt and snowbeast132). Does it really matter? Seriously!

  • @KamikazeKaitouJewel

    Sometimes it matters... and very seriously.

  • As much as I enjoy commenting on these videos sometimes I find it useless to comment on them due to the fact that my words would not put my feelings towards both the composer and the pianist to justice...

  • Very good recording, but I do prefer some sections to be much more tender than they were played here. In particular, the trio seemed to be turbulent rather than sweet and subtle. That melody in the last couple of bars before it modulates is my favorite when played soft and tenderly. But that is just how I prefer it.

  • Thumps up if Jimmy Darmody brought you here.

  • Just love the middle part!

  • best youtube version...

  • (I appreciate Wikipaedia's contributions in the descriptions on previous comment)

  • Franz Schubert's Impromptus, Opp. 90 and 142 (posth.), are a series of pieces for solo piano composed in 1827 and first published during the composer's lifetime (or shortly thereafter) under that name. There are eight such Impromptus in total.

    Three other unnamed piano compositions, written in May 1828, a few months before the composer's death, are alternatively indicated as Impromptus or Klavierstücke ("piano pieces").

  • Truecrypt, thank you for posting all these musicians who are actually worth listening too.... Really I think I've learned a lot just by listening to the pianists who you post, Sofronitsky, Rachmaninov, Hofmann, Richter, Gilels etc. And on other channels, various singers, violinists, conductors etc. If it weren't youtube I think I'd be stuck with the radio broadcasts of the chamber music society at lincoln center... :) thanks!

  • you guys are doing it wrong. just listen.

  • In my opinion, THE way it should be played. even though it says allegretto, I prefer this version by far. practicing to play it myself :)

  • Beautiful! So beautiful. :)
