SMF Live 916 - Schubert Piano, Early and Late

Composer Franz Schubert is perhaps the single instance of a great artist whose outer life had no affinity or connection with art. His career was simple and uneventful, so out of all proportion with the works which he created like a heaven-sent genius, that we must at last turn to them mainly if we would form any estimate of the golden treasures concealed in his heart and spirit. In this episode, we listen to Schubert's Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F Major, D. 487 performed by Sebastian Knauer, Benny Kim, Philip Dukes and Eric Kim, and Jeremy Denk playing Schubert's Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, D. 960.
