Let's take some time to enjoy András Schiff performing 1827's "Impromptus D899 No. 02 & 03", written by Franz #Schubert. The very definition of a virtuoso.

Franz Schubert b otd 1797! What a genius - music sang through him as through none other. His melodies, his charm, his profundity, his early joy, replaced by a morbid sense of death in painful contrast to his love of life; he shows us heaven - and hell - in music of sheer beauty.

Franz Schubert was born 228 years ago today As well as being a great composer he was a genius, a rebel, an unrequited lover, a tragic figure in western music history He left us a truly wonderful legacy for which we should be very thankful
