STREAMS and STORMS - Schubert Impromptu Op. 90 no. 2 in E flat major - Analysis

[@brandonwarweg3622]

God Schubert was just brilliant....imagine if he'd only lived another 5 years or so, what many more masterpieces he would've put out.

[@SonataSecrets]

Exactly

[@1955robyn]

I’m sure he is still busily writing more beautiful music somewhere.

[@pjbpiano]

Sometimes, living longer might take the opposite turn. We never can tell.

[@Zimzamzoom95]

[@truthdweller3454]

@@Zimzamzoom95 Wow you're edgy, so impressed

[@HaliPuppeh]

As a composer, I enjoy your insightful analyses and your thoughtful playing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Henrik!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks Hali, it's my pleasure!

[@antoniavignera2339]

Anch’io condivido veramente Bravissimo.

[@jonathanzopf6444]

I have been playing this piece now for quite some time and you still teach me details I didn’t know. Great video!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks! There's just so much great details in there :)

[@Seeker_forever]

Thanks god for this composer 🙏❤

[@Vera-zc2ql]

Just bought a copy of the impromptus, e flat major has always been a childhood favorite piece

[@magicmoths6018]

Thank you.. I finally found an analysis.. I am working on this piece, no teacher.. but I know that had I studied theory, it would make learning this piece much easier. Thank you so much , and I will start taking online theory lessons as soon as I find the right tutor ✨🙏✨

[@GeodesicBruh]

the page turning zoom made me laugh for some reason lol. thank you for your videos, they're very informative and your playing is great :)

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! :)

[@margarethansen7480]

I just love this channel, I’m trying to watch at least one vídeo for day… thank you very much for all of that

[@yishai8466]

I am currently learning this piece and this was really helpful, thanks!

[@saxonett]

So me. I once was good in it, but years ago. Therefore I am exercising again right now.

[@kalynnscompositions]

I'm loving your analysis and performances! Thanks for covering this impromptu!

[@chanskichanski7874]

Thanks for breaking it down!! I just started to learn this piece ! So beautiful

[@antoniavignera2339]

Che bello mi fa ritornare indietro.Grazie Straordinaria spiegazione.

[@djtomt]

I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful education. This is the inspiration I need to become a better pianist. Thank you!

[@Kingsofoblivion]

I just started watching this channel and subscribed. About to start working on this piece after finishing the first impromptu. Very helpful video!

[@karolinajaworska5449]

I am about to start learning this piece and as always I found your analysis and interpretation very helpful. This video will be on repeat for a few weeks now 🤭 thank you!

[@saxonett]

I am excercising the piece right now. I love it.

[@MarianoStatelloPiano]

[@SonataSecrets]

Glad it was helpful!

[@2Darkid]

Your analysis is bomb!

[@ariannak6102]

this is a nice and interesting piece and thanks again for your take on it!

[@carolzhang5076]

Good learning! I’m practicing it now.

[@farobag1]

Wunderbar!

[@AbnormaalTsi]

You have such a delicate light touch with these scales, I've been playing for 2 years now, and i hope my scales will get so butter smooth as yours haha. Would you recommend flat fingers for the black keys?

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank haha. Well I think flatter fingers on black keys but not completely flat, it's good to have the a little control of the finger tip joint.

[@benoitcochet9694]

Useful and very interesting ! Thank you !

[@GabrielFerreira-qo9wv]

Oh, instantly subscribed to your channel.

[@milosmilenkovic4610]

Are you using pedals to confiscate the ovelapping notes (in particular b-minor note in the beggining)?

[@deolindapinhogarciabertolo707]

Maravilhoso todos os detalhes!Obrigada!

[@oyunaaluvsansuren8875]

Omg thank you soooo much😀😘👌🏽

[@vaxogtr6869]

This is fantastic!

[@maitlandmottmorency]

Thank you for this terrific breakdown. I've struggled with this piece on and off for years. Any tips for getting the airy touch to the right hand triplets in the A sections? I can't get past a mechanical sound with some notes always sticking out. I am not striving for speed. Sokolov's graceful tempo would be plenty for me so long as I could be smoother. Slow practice only goes so far.

[@kennethwong20]

Schubert’s Drei Klavierstucke D946 in E flat major please :)

[@SonataSecrets]

Yeah, those Klavierstucke are underrated! Maybe in the future...

[@apolozorb3649]

Great video . First time on your channel . please can you explain pedalling in the first phrase?

[@liamnoronhamusic]

Right now I am learning this piece and am progressing really well. This video was really helpful however does anyone know is the pedal is needed and necessary for this piece?

[@SonataSecrets]

I think the scales part doesn't need much pedal, all notes should be held in LH se they're not relient on pedal. And then I use it more pedal in the middle part.

[@liamnoronhamusic]

Thank you🙏

[@waggawaggaful]

It meanders so much that I find it difficult to shape the melody, but maybe that is the point. It seems like it can be played differently each time and be as valid in every interpretation.

[@woefullion3461]

Playing the b minor section makes me feel powerful

[@franciscoyanovieyra5317]

Hi Henrik, how about Op 90 No 1 and Op 90 No 4? Regards...

[@SonataSecrets]

Hi! No. 4 is definately on my list for the future. I find no 1 hard to keep interesting with those very long phrases that repeat. Maybe some day I will like it as much as the other three :)

[@1955robyn]

Just beautiful!!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you!

[@19-spcn75]

Thank you for your explanation 👍

[@caterscarrots3407]

I find that Schubert is unique from his composer peers. Not as much dynamic drama as Beethoven, not as much melodic virtuosity as Chopin, the grace and melody interactions of Mozart.

[@janelim4893]

Is this or the libestraum harder?

[@SonataSecrets]

I would say Liebestraum have harder spots in the cadenzas.

[@daniellsilverio4068]

Could u make a video on no.4 ?

[@kfirmazor1273]

Is it harder than fantasie impromptu?

[@thecasualgoogler847]

easier, in my opinion

[@briantaguilar7512]

Def easier

[@Judypark2]

what grade is this?

[@SonataSecrets]

I'm not too familiar with the grades but probably ABRSM grade 8.
