Description
Another set of three German Dances likely composed around the same time as its neighboring works, continuing the light triple-time dance style favored at Viennese social gatherings. Despite lasting only about a minute and a half, its dense writing tests finger agility and rhythmic steadiness.
Waltzes in elegant triple time, including Chopin's concert waltzes alongside works by a range of other composers.

Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Franz Schubert was a Vienna-born composer who died at only 31 but left behind a vast body of work, especially in the field of Lieder. Known for his gift for melody and subtle modulation, songs such as "Erlkonig" remain widely performed today. His piano works, including the Impromptus, are equally rich in lyricism. This site includes 120 of his works, such as Impromptus, "Erlkonig," and the "Hungarian Melody."
