Schubert, Fantasia D.993 in C minor Daniel Blanch

Franz Schubert (1797-1828): Fantasia D.993
Daniel Blanch, piano - Ars Harmonica 140
In 1813 a 14 years old from Vienna named Franz Schubert, whose musical progress had been discreete but steady, wrote a Fantasia in C minor. During that year Mozart influence on his compositions was very strong: in his quartets, in one symphony and unmistakably in this Fantasia. This work was Schubert's sincere and moving homage to his much-admired Mozart, in which he explored the same tonality and some of the same themes Mozart has used in K. 475. In particular Schubert made use of the malleable material of Mozart's Andantino theme, to which he added decorative, structural scales and arpeggios that lean toward the chiaroscuro of melancholy.
