Description
A solo piano arrangement of Schubert's song of gratitude to music, "An die Musik." A beautiful melody of thanks and consolation unfolds over quiet, restrained harmony. Running about two minutes with a compact roughly 1,186 notes, it calls for calm, dignified expression befitting its subject rather than technical display; the real challenge at this advanced level is savoring each harmonic shift and carrying the melody through with real breath.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.

About the Composer
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."
