Franz Schubert
Original Arrangements of
Piano Works
This Schubert MP3 collection illustrates some of the breadth of his work together with it's power and originality. It has been substantially increased with the latest recordings and now has four more orchestral works including movements from two symphonies. Schubert was roughly contemporary with Beethoven and both were students of Salieri - Mozart 's supposed rival. In his early professional life he was a part time composer - working as a teacher in his father's school. In this selection we have examples such as Erlkönig (ErlKing) song from his early period contrasting with the Wanderer Fantasie which was produced around the same time as the Unfinished Symphony. The keyboard works include two Impromptus and the March Militaire where the steel drums are variously accompanied by harp and marimba. While in the ErlKing the steel drums and vibraphone bring sunshine into the forests of Austria but they are brought down to earth by Moog Synthesized French Horns in the bass. Impromptu Opus 90 No2 Impromptu Opus 90 No3 Impromptu No4 in A minor ** Seranade ** Fantasy Opus 103 ** Gretchen am Spinrade **

March Militaire Opus 51 No1
Erlkönig (ErlKing)
Wanderer - Fantasie in C major MP3:
This
is,
without
a
doubt,
one
of
Schubert's
most
monumental
piano
compositions.
It
was
written
in
November,
1822,
a
year
that
was
distinguished
by
the
creation
of
works
of
enormous
emotional
tension,
dramatic
power
and
concise,
bold
formal
construction.
The
work's
title
is
derived
from
Schubert's
own
song
Der
Wanderer
(1816),
a
short
episode
which
provides
the
material
for
the
second
movement
of
the
Fantasie
("The
sun
seems
so
cold
to
me
here,
the
flowers
seems
faded,
life
is
odd",
-
runs
Schmidt
von
Lubeck's
text).
The
Fantasie
is
in
its
own
way
a
symphonic
poem,
written
for
the
piano
and
transcribed
here
on
Hammond
Organ
emulation
(South
American
preset)
with
the
steel
drums
that
handled
the
varied moods and lyrical passages of the piece.
