Schubert - Impromptu No. 3, Op. 90 (Kissin)

Franz Schubert - Four Impromptus, D. 899 (Op. 90), No. 3 in G-flat major (Andante)
Piano: Evgeny Kissin

[@hanacandelaria1184]

In the 1960s, I had a canary named Sylvester who absolutely loved this piece. Every time I'd sit down to play it, he'd burst into song all the way to the end of it. He didn't react that way to any other pieces. I love this memory.

[@norahdealmeida5847]

Oh! How touching what ou said about your canary!!

[@HelenaWilliams8696]

Kissin plays with such amazing lightness, expression and precision. The pianist channels the essence of Schubert piano impromptus.

It is nice work, but I prefer Zimerman's rendition. Whether in the peaceful or tormented sections, Zimerman retains a smoothness that leta Schubert's genius shine through.

C'est la meilleure interprétation que j'ai entendue, la main droite est aérienne, la délicatesse est constante, le meilleur goût d'un bout à l'autre. Sans nul doute Schubert serait bouleversé en entendant ainsi sa musique.

[@mypham2788]

Chopin’s music is lightly sad, like that sadness of a dreamy adolescent. Schubert’s music is profoundly sad, like the sadness of a middle aged man who has gone through it all in life.

[@minr6851]

mette holm I wish my children could say the same thing when they are grown up. I’m working on it around 1 year or so but I know it might take my life time to improve it. So aching and the same time beautiful....

[@pascalcs]

mette holm it is a simple and yet difficult piece at the same time. To balance the finger strength when touching the keys requires ( at least for me) many many hours of repetition (and frustration). And to control that and the speed at which one plays throughout the piece is another challenge.

[@Yes_Piano]

This masterpiece is one of my favorite classic piano creation, when I play or hear it, it gives me an emotional feeling of life power, something divine which we cannot get it, sublime with a combination of harmonic arpeggios and dissonance (chromatic transitions), it feels both sadness and hopefulness like Schubert wanted to convey the soundtrack of his life in one piece...

His music shows dignity of spirituality with highest romanticism and sadness under mortality of human. I deeply love and respect his music in my life.

[@edwardnah4718]

I played first Schubert song at 12. Now I am 69 and still adore his musics and get great impressions with dignity of Romanticism. If he lived 20 years more, we have fortune to have much more heavenly songs. Yet, he composed almost 1000 works till he ended at age of 31. Isn't it amazing?

[@sheaevans1534]

It's amazing what he and Bizet COULD have acheived if given 20 more years. What a loss to humanity considering such immense talent!

This masterpiece of a video is legitimately a visual representation of one Golden Age illustration.
