Commentary
This impromptu is one of four in the set (Opus 90). This is the second of the four impromptus. I have previously recorded Impromptu No. 4 and plan to record the remaining two impromptus in the future. This particular impromptu is quite a popular work by Schubert. It is very common among the piano repertory and frequently played in solo recitals, especially among younger pianists.
This impromptu is different from the majority of music from the same period because the piece ends in the tonic minor of the major key it begins in (E-flat). This recording was made in my home on my studio upright.
