SCHUBERT Im Frühling (D.882) Score
"Franz Schubert's 1826 song Im Frühling, D. 882, a setting of a poem by Ernst Schulze, may well be tops amongst the many songs about springtime that dot his Lieder catalog. Rarely even in that massive catalog does Schubert approach the kind of wonderful, taut formal weave that is Im Frühling -- this is strophic song at its most flexible and expressive. The song was written in March of 1826 (an appropriate enough time for such a spring song) but revised just a little bit -- tempo indication, some articulation markings -- when it was published in 1828.
Schulze's poem is in six stanzas; Schubert welds them together into three pairs for the purposes of his setting (still, the original break between the first and second stanza of each pair remains palpable in the two and a half beat pause in the middle of musical strophe). The intricacy of Schubert's music can hardly be overestimated. Each of the three dual-stanzas is set to the same basic music, but each time there is a different piano accompaniment -- the basic harmonies and phrases remain constant while the textures and rhythms change, creating something almost in the way of a miniature set of variations. During the second and third verses there is in addition a different chromatic inflection to some parts of the singer's limber tune (the most blatant example being the casting of the opening of the third strophe in the minor mode as "happiness and strife exchange places").
And that lazy, self-contented tune is itself wonderfully intertwined with the piano music: after four bars of piano prelude, the singer enters with a melody that seems unrelated to the piano's musings; but as the piano starts its prelude music again in the second half of each strophe, the singer takes over this strain and spins it out into a delicately ornamented notion that, the third time around, blossoms into a quiet little coda which seems somehow to remain with us "all summer long." "
- Blair Johnston for All Music
Performed by Ian Bostridge (Tenor) and Julius Drake (Piano)
English translation (by Richard Wigmore for Oxford Lieder):
I sit silently on the hillside.
The sky is so clear,
the breezes play in the green valley
where once, in the first rays of spring,
I was, oh, so happy.
Where I walked by her side,
so tender, so close,
and saw deep in the dark rocky stream
the fair sky, blue and bright,
and her reflected in that sky.
See how the colourful spring
already peeps from bud and blossom.
Not all the blossoms are the same to me:
I like most of all to pluck them from the branch
from which she has plucked.
For all is still as it was then,
the flowers, the fields;
the sun shines no less brightly,
and no less cheerfully,
the sky’s blue image bathes in the stream.
Only will and delusion change,
and joy alternates with strife;
the happiness of love flies past,
and only love remains;
love and, alas, sorrow.
Oh, if only I were a bird,
there on the sloping meadow!
Then I would stay on these branches here,
and sing a sweet song about her
all summer long.

"The Piano Sonata in A minor D.845 (Op.42) by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano. Composed in May 1825 and entitled Premiere Grande Sonata, it is the first of three sonatas published during the composer's lifetime, the others being D.850 and D.894. Conceived as a set, these works were composed during what was reportedly a period of relatively good health and spirits for Schubert, and are...

"In his entire output of vocal music with piano accompaniment, Schubert wrote only two duets, Mignon und der Harper (Mignon and the Harper) (D. 877, No. 1) and Licht und Liebe (Light and Love) (D. 352). There may be many reasons for this. Schubert preferred to express the emotions of one character at a time, he preferred poems in the first-person singular but whatever the reason, songs for two ...

"Goethe wrote this poem in 1771 at the time he was courting Friederike Brion. The freshness of the young Goethe's love affair thus coincided with a new type of lyric which came from the heart, unburdened by the poetic formalities of an earlier age. Schubert mirrors the excitement and ardour with one of his set piece horse rides, not quite as successful and substantial as Auf der Bruck and An Sc...

In addition, they exhibit far greater tonal freedom than the earlier pieces and are obviously the work of a more experienced composer-aged sixteen! Cur...

13:12 Where the music starts to beat my heart directly...
I find Schubert's piano insufferably boring and too long.
Comme si souvent chez Schubert, une richesse, une variété, une inventivité inouïes! Magnifique interprétation d'András Schiff (même pas nommé dans la présentation...).
This piece is a bit perfunctory, but it's fun. You certainly realize how much Bartok took for his quartets. However, this playing is too fast, so fast in parts that we get static. Also in parts too loud. Static always results from such mistakes. There ought to be some computer program which would record this objectively, so you could actually see it graphically. Are the players young? Sounds like it. They give this piece a Brahmsian swing. Are they German?

Чудесное исполнение! Чудесная запись! Спасибо за публикацию!
Love this piece - thanks for posting - but I’m surprised at András Schiff, starting the piece at one tempo and then speeding up after the first 10 measures or so. Such an amateurish thing to do.
One of the last sonatas of the classical era.
Elegant cello part but often overwhelmed by piano.
The 4th movement really sounds like his string quartet no. 8, neat
As the first violin I demand a refund for my fingers

Probably my favorite amongst Beethoven's quartets.

스케르초
The original German: Still sitz ich an des Hügels Hang, Der Himmel ist so klar, Das Lüftchen spielt im grünen Tal, Wo ich beim ersten Frühlingsstrahl Einst, ach, so glücklich war. Wo ich an ihrer Seite ging So traulich und so nah, Und tief im dunkeln Felsenquell Den schönen Himmel blau und hell, Und sie im Himmel sah. Sieh, wie der bunte Frühling schon Aus Knosp’ und Blüte blickt! Nicht alle Blüten sind mir gleich, Am liebsten pflückt’ ich von dem Zweig, Von welchem sie gepflückt. Denn alles ist wie damals noch, Die Blumen, das Gefild; Die Sonne scheint nicht minder hell, Nicht minder freundlich schwimmt im Quell Das blaue Himmelsbild. Es wandeln nur sich Will und Wahn, Es wechseln Lust und Streit, Vorüber flieht der Liebe Glück, Und nur die Liebe bleibt zurück, Die Lieb’ und ach, das Leid! O wär ich doch ein Vöglein nur Dort an dem Wiesenhang! Dann blieb’ ich auf den Zweigen hier, Und säng ein süsses Lied von ihr, Den ganzen Sommer lang.

Je serais curieux de découvrir un scherzo schubertien avec trio mozartien....
i like how you can hear them breathe before entries, it really adds that sense that they are getting into it
What a wonderful quartet
Interesting, but in effect a piano concerto with strings. But B used some of these tunes in his early piano sonatas.
This is absolutely FANTASTIC
14:21
Incredible!!!!!!!!!
Visions of life...
This is so sweet!
6:12 This is one of my favorite transitions of the classical era.
Fun fact: Schwammerl was Schubert's nickname, and means "Little Mushroom"
Because of his height and body
The audio is in F minor but the score is in the original key of G minor… still a nice recording
How can you pick the most beautiful melody of the nutcracker dance master? And the wonderful pathetique? And so many others? But to me, this is it. Peter on his piano and his kotik playing violin. These moments preserved for us today. Kotek had a part in this for sure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iosif_Kotek
I can't believe they inserted commercials in this. There is really nothing sacred anymore
Does the Adagio feel rushed to anyone else? I know its ma non troppo, but I feel like they focused on the ma non-tropo more than the Adagio.
The right hand writing around 12:54 really does remind me of someone singing. What a genius Schubert was!
22:47 - 24:02
Last movement is like a horse ride!
What a marvelous final movement. In my humble view Beethoven, in the first half of his career, stood out more for excellent adagios and scherzos than for the sonata-form movements. But here he delivers a finale that flows with such spontaneity, and develops with such color. And it rockets all the way into fireworks.
i agree with your view, early beethoven adagios have a kind of innocent warmth that hasn't been replicated
I love the unrivaled clarity of Emerson String Quartet.
opening is just like Beethoven's second
