​Impromptu no.3 in G Flat Major by Franz Schubert:

Scroll down to watch the video, and you can find links to more of my videos underneath.
Impromptu No.3 in G Flat Major is from a set of four Impromptus D.899 written by Franz Schubert in 1827. There is also a second set of four Impromptus (D.935) written by Schubert that were not published until after his death. In fact Schubert died in 1828, so these pieces were composed towards the end of his life.

Schubert is considered to be a composer of the Romantic era, although his work was written right at the point of transition from Classical to Romantic, and his music features a lot of very Classical stylistic features, as well as demonstrating the progression forward into the Romantic style of composition. Romantic music tended to use more passionate contrasts, lyrical melodies, less formal structure, development of more complex harmonies, greater use of sustaining pedal, wider range of the keyboard etc. "Classical" in this context is not to be confused with a common use of the term "classical" which often covers Western art music in general, including the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and twentieth century periods of music.


Here is a selection of more recordings of Romantic music played by me: Romance No.1, Romance No.2 and Fantasy Dance - all three were composed by Robert Schumann, who was a slightly later composer than Schubert.
