In the last movement, when Schubert quotes the second movement theme, he also quotes the piano accompaniment from the first movement - that "waterfall" sound in the piano. It's a brilliant trick to combine the two.
The ending of the 2nd movement (their "modulations" I'm guessing that it's called) always gives me goosebumps ! It's out of this world. By the way, I discovered this piece when I was a kid, and it still amazes me, now that I'm 50+
You say that listening to Schubert imparts this flow among you and makes you feel as though you are flowing with the breeze. I feel a very similar feeling when listening to Mozart. Even his powerful music such as his 40th symphony has this flow to it that I can feel. In comparison, Beethoven, my favorite composer of all time, makes me feel the sheer power of his melodies and motives. Even in his more lyrical pieces, I still feel the sheer power.
I always really enjoy these musical journey videos! I was wondering if you could do one of these for Liszt's B minor Sonata. It is really unique in its form and I find it fascinating how Liszt incorporates the same themes throughout the entire piece, but manages to make them sound completely different through small little adjustments. I really do feel it would be a great piece to make a musical journey video on.
This evening I decided to watch Schubert's Piano Trio 2 in E-flat major 'live' on UA-cam. In one of her previous videos 'Classical Music (for People Who Don't Like Classical Music) Allysia mentions a couple interesting things: 1) seeing a performance live might make you fall in love with it and 2) classical music can be complicated and isn't usually relaxing. After watching this spirited piano trio I can agree with both points. Actually seeing people playing their respective pieces made a big difference for me and I have a greater appreciation for this work from Schubert. Will watch it again.
I especially like Schubert's work with small ensembles, from trios up to nonets. This is one of my favorites so I'm glad to see you going through it. Quite a bit different from "Death and the Maiden,: which is also a masterpiece.
There's a couple of things missing from the analysis. The second theme of the first movement is taken from the minuet of Schubert's big G major Sonata D.894. The theme of the second movement is a Swedish song not composed by Schubert. Still this is one of the most masterful chamber compositions of all time, only Schubert's C major Quintet and a few late Beethoven works possibly equal it.

you are amazing! Schubert is THE MOST amazing composer to me all the time!

Yes! He shines in small ensembles.
A very interesting and informative video, gave me new stuff to check out. Thanks much!

I would like to see a video you saying a little of the fantasy in D minor of Mozar!!
Do PLEASE !!!
Do you ' Mozart ' not ' Mozar ' ??
Would you like to do an analysis of the Kreutzer Sonata? I would like to have your thoughts. It might be my favorite piece at this point.
What other piano trios make your top 5 of all time besides this Schubert piece & the Beethoven Archduke?
The late piano trios of Haydn rank pretty high.
He was born in vienna his small birth house still exists in the 9. Bezirk!📪
