Impromptus Op. 90 et 142

Album by Franz Schubert & Edwin Fischer

Impromptus Op. 90 and Op. 142 are two sets of solo piano pieces by Franz Schubert, composed in 1827 and 1828. They showcase Schubert's late piano style, combining song-like lyrical melodies with sudden harmonic shifts, varied textures and intimate expressive gestures that consolidate his vocal-inspired approach in instrumental form and point towards developments in Romantic piano literature.
