Impromptus Op. 90 & Op. 142

Album by Franz Schubert & Mitsuko Uchida

Impromptus Op. 90 & Op. 142 is a two-set collection of solo piano pieces by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1827–1828. The pieces range from lyrical, song-like lines to more dramatic, virtuosic passages and employ Schubert's expansive harmonic language and miniature forms, reflecting a transitional phase between his middle and late creative periods in the piano repertoire.
First released: 1997
