Henle Verlag Franz Schubert: Am Klavier

Of the twelve composers in our "At the Piano" series, Franz Schubert was certainly the least at home on the piano, but what masterpieces he gave us for the instrument! There is hardly a pianist who is not immediately captivated by the cheerful, melancholy tone of Schubert's Impromptus and Moments musicaux. Surprising twists and turns lend even Schubert's simple pieces at the beginning of our volume great depth. His dances are not mere light music either: a wistful tone always pervades the ostensibly lovely waltzes and ländler, from which the premonition of the death of the seriously ill Schubert seems to resonate.
