Schubert: French Divertimento for Piano 4-Hands, D. 823, Second Movement

Schubert intended this to be his Sonata in E minor for Piano 4-Hands, but the publisher had a different idea. The second movement is a set of theme and variations that has been arranged over the years for a variety of instruments. It’s fascinating how Schubert can make a major key melody even sadder than a minor key melody.

This video features Orion Weiss and Anna Polonsky, who met and played at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival, and married. They are exploring the piano 4-handed repertory, and I’ve suggested a possible performing edition for the Sonata in A minor for Piano 4-Hands that Schubert left unfinished at the end of his short life. Watch how this couple works together.

Must retire for the evening.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.
