FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797-1828)
3 Klavierstücke D. 946 Impromptu No. 1 for piano in E flat minor
Allegro assai - Andante - Tempo I
Performed by Melvyn Tan, fortepiano
Painting: "Viennese Domestic Garden" (1828-30) by Erasmus Engert
*The three Klavierstücke D. 946 are solo pieces composed by Schubert in May 1828, just six months before his early death. They were conceived as a third set of four Impromptus, but only three were written. They were first published in 1868, edited by Johannes Brahms, although his name appears nowhere in the publication.[5] In comparison with the D. 899 and D. 935 sets, these works are largely neglected and are not often heard in the concert hall or recorded.

*Couperins Preface:
These pieces are suitable not only for the harpsichord, but also the violin, the flute, the oboe, the viol and the bassoon. I wrote them for the little chamber concerts commanded by Louis XIV almost every Sunday throughout the year. The pieces were performed by Messieurs Duval [violinist], Philidor [oboist and bassoonist], Alarius [gambist], and Dubois [basoonist]: I myself played the harpsichord. In the hope that they will please the general public as they did the late King, I herewith publish several complete volumes Couperin - Les Concerts Royaux Concert No. 2 - Mov. 4&5/5](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/v9Gevde6sMw/mqdefault.jpg)
