Schubert is so human and what great music this is, fine pianist too!
Intelligent, artistic, probing, and sensitive playing. He deserved a better fate at the Rubinstein competition!!
bravo!
How difficult is this piece to master? I've been playing piano for eight years and I want to explore as much music as I can so I am looking for a Schubert sonata or excerpts of a Klavierstücke to play...Who can help me?
@skypefan Lol like what? I listened to this while watching and he did everything but the fortissimo at 3:00 but I like it pianissimo like he does it better anyways o.O
Very very very difficult, especially getting the perfect tone and maintaining total tonal balance throughout the entire piece and clarity is an issue, ESPECIALLY during the first time the 2nd theme is introduced..
is this post a joke?
