Impromptu
Thursday July 31, 2008
Here's a fantastic YouTube clip of Arthur Rubinstein playing Schubert's famous Impromptu Op. 90 No. 4. I've been listening to this impromptu for a couple of days and I can't get enough of it. If you don't know what an impromptu is, here's the definition. What are your thoughts about this piece? About this performance?
Here's another YouTube clip you may enjoy - Horowitz performing Schubert's Impromptu in G flat Major.

That is one of my favorite Schubert pieces - the impromptu in E-flat is also great. I remember when I used to be able to play these masterworks…Rubenstein was a marvel, though perhaps too good at improvising, for he often filled in blanks when he forgot some notes.
