🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Fantasy in G-Dur D 1

Written during Schubert’s early period, this fantasy is scored for piano four hands. Rapid motion, songful melodies, and contrasting episodes carry the music forward, creating a vivid contrast between lightness and expansive expression. The exchange of melodic and accompanimental roles between the two players, together with the broader range and rich sonority made possible by four hands, is one of its particular attractions. In performance, it is important to clarify the tempo and character of each section while maintaining a unified sense of phrase direction. Keeping overlapping sounds clear and responding naturally to the partner’s breathing brings out the music’s dreamlike flow.
