Franz Peter Schubert ： Impromptus No.2 in Es-Dur D899 Op.90-2

This impromptu is driven by a continuous flow of triplets, creating both lightness and a sense of tension. At the opening, it is important to maintain the finely moving figures while allowing the melody that emerges above them to sing clearly. In the middle section, the flow briefly settles and a more expansive expression comes forward. As the opening motion returns, the performer should preserve its momentum without losing the music’s sense of direction. Keeping the triplets even and unhurried, while carefully balancing the melody against the accompaniment and controlling the amount of pedal, brings out the work’s transparent sonority and expressive richness.
