Ingrid Marsoner - Schubert: 4 Impromptus, Op. 90, D. 899, 3 Klavierstücke, D. 946, Allegretto in C Minor, D. 915 (2024) [24/96]

Ingrid Marsoner dedicates her new recording to Franz Schubert's late piano works and juxtaposes the concert version "Vier Impromptus D 899" with the more intimate and much less frequently played "Three Piano Pieces D 946". The Impromptus D 899 was written in 1827, about a year before Schubert's death and close in time to "Winterreise" D 911. The composer was in a particularly dark mood at the time and certainly did not choose it by chance, and in keeping with the eerie, touching beauty of it Works in such distant keys as G flat major for the third piece. The “Three Piano Pieces D 946” were written in 1828, the year Franz Schubert died. They were not published during his lifetime and were only discovered and published by Johannes Brahms. At the end of his life, Franz Schubert studied counterpoint intensively and even attended a lesson with Simon Sechter, the first music theory teacher in Vienna. Particularly in the middle section of the first piano piece one can discover a polyphony that was surprising for the composer. The CD ends with Allegretto in C minor D 915, which was also written shortly before his death at the age of 31.
