[@enricolunardi9732]

Sublime. In particular between 8:56 and 9:02. Many thanks Franz and Pollini for this Wanderer.

[@mwong987]

One of my favorite compositions played by one of my favorite pianists :)

[@jachymspacek7562]

I love Pollini's tempo.

[@Scottparkmusic]

His playing in 13:58 ~ 14:10 is absolutely beautiful!

[@NoahJohnson1810]

17:49 This 4th movement start exactly the same as Chopin's first sonata's fourth movement

[@teacake_94]

Cool idea to do a performance order, im always looking up sites to find my favorite performances of certain pieces. Awesome piece as well and Pollini does it with such power and passion, the best version ive heard so far! imo

[@saygued]

Pollini - among the greatest.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

I have the recording-the best performance ever I feel. Thanks especially for posting the score. I have it but it's nice to see on the screen as well. Sensational music form a genius. :-)

[@PieInTheSky9]

Wow, the last movement is AWESOME!!

[@andy31793]

There are recordings of this played much, much faster and it's really annoying because Schubert makes quite clear this is to be played "Allegro con fuoco ma non troppo." Pollini is brilliant.

[@The55555SSSSS]

I am learning this. I simply love it. It's such a monster for a piece but lovely at the same time.

[@benjammin6692]

Don't you find that Schubert is a funny trickster? Or am I over interpreting...? His melodies play off classicism leaving much up to interpretation then break off into some wilder place wholly his own.

[@chrismontis]

This was still heard often at the time of an LP record : )

[@ethansaltmere]

if you think is good, listen to the Liszt sonata. Schubert's mastery of structure and architecture is incorporated into a new double-function form on a different scale of huge in the Liszt.

[@lorenzogarrido8136]

Absolutamente monstruosa. Esta obra la oí en una pieza de teatro, en París.

[@fastben2010]

i think you right i heard this man very best

[@gohanisbuckethead]

Ok this was an instant favourite, not even a second thought. I am not here to argue, but this singlehandedly beats down every mozart and beethoven i have ever heard. Kind of big statement i know, but this is a pure masterpiece. It combines elements from Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and the result is just amazing, its really a fantasy :-)

[@dthomases1]

What utter drivel, let's forget the reference to other great composers, but this is a relatively early work of Scubert and can't even compare to his later piano music, the Impromtus D946 and the four great last sonatas: D 894, 958, 959, and 960, the last an utterly sublime masterpiece. Get a pair of ears and, above all, learn something about music.

[@rogerstrukhoff4716]

Well, that was nice.

[@GWGreyWolf]

Such a beautiful composition... and does the Adagio theme come directly from Heaven...?

[@jpbshsu]

Who the hell could dislike this video?

[@xoppa09]

this is like ragtime music for romantic/classical era

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

I own this recording, but followng it with the Score is much better, it allows to borrow some secrets from Schubert's very original way of using harmony. Thank you! PS: It's allucinating difficult O_o O_o . Something like all technical difficults have been squeezed down from a twice longer Piece!

[@tnsnamesoralong]

@newFranzFerencLiszt I found it ;) Thanks a lot, it was good idea

[@1271991xx]

Lovely but so hard! As Schubert said: "the devil may play it"

[@tnsnamesoralong]

@newFranzFerencLiszt I Know Demidenko, as I remember he is good pianist. But I haven't got this recording with him., unfortunatelly.

[@bachopinbee5991]

Schubert was an outstanding improvisor and virtuoso.I rank him with Hummel and Beethoven

[@yusouph2002]

13:58

[@MrKeithMontgomery]

RIP March 23, 2024

[@dom0s]

Pollini at no 2?

[@chrish12345]

@analyzingfunny yeah that's where Schubert got it from after a research trip to a ranch

[@ChrisKrunchy]

So classic, pure and beautiful... Those three are the elements that Schubert has but Chopin doesn't. How can I even compare the pure emotionist and sentimentalist in one place, but can't help with that... It's such a simple yet a lovely song. Reminds me Kingston sooo badly - I wonder why did I listened to this while I was there for the K4K tournament.

[@Erroll21Oscar25]

Man, you people do talk some savvy shit. Chopin had the ability , tools, talent, and much more to compose any way he liked,: classical, pure, or any other emotion known to man for that matter. Oh, "but Chopin doesn't," right.... Chopin and Schubert were the most classical as well as romantic ever, making Liszt Jealous even. Both had soft touches btw, and their works remain on the top shelf of the entire music literature. Mendelssohn's Variations Serieuses? Schumann's Kinderszenen? All from the same magic, as well as understanding of musical harmony.

[@Erroll21Oscar25]

***** Whichever you choose. Chopin had it all, as did Bach, and all the greats.

[@analyzingfunny]

The first 3 notes sounds like the intro to "Rhinestone Cowboy" (glen Campbell)

[@dannyash3805]

How rude to put ads after each movement!

[@Juscz]

Yes, but better there than amidst movements.

[@ruramikael]

not the best...

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

I adore Scubert but have found this piece from the first time I heard it a long- winded bore. That polka rhythm becomes tiring after 16 measures and I want to jump off the Alps. It however goes along for hundreds of measures. Prove me wrong but this tedious work is seldom performed by great artist today. Why?? It is tightly bound by relentless adherence to a boring rhythmic motif.

[@fatamorgana1236]

Too much sustain and a tastless phrasing without any sense of "breathing". Ugly sound.
