<br />
Part of a set of three pieces written in 1828, they were probably
intended as a continuation of the series of impromptus Schubert had
begun in 1827 of Op. 90 and Op. 142. However, they did not appear in
print during Schubert's lifetime. <br />
<br />
In this recording I have included the Andantino section, deleted from the autograph yet appearing in the first edition.<br />

It is a meditation on the planet on which we live the substance of its diverse landscape.<br />
<br />
Playing the piano in complete darkness is an activity which I have found to be very fruitful in the creation of ideas and enhanced focus it can bring to sound with the diminished presence of visual stimuli. I have applied this activity to composed music as well. <br />

Live recording. March 22, 2007.<br />
<br />
This is an intensely internalized piece, and instructs the pianist to play in a rubato style "as if intoxicated by the scent of a thousand blossoms." The mystery of the movement is further enhanced by colouristic playing inside the piano and the use of an ostinato passage in the second section. <br />
