    I am an insomniac, so I often woke up in unholy morning time and simply can’t find my rest. In those time I like to listen music. When I first heard this beautiful piece, it was around four a.m. and I had headphones, because I didn’t wanted to woke up my beloved. Whole time I listened to each note, I was looking at her beautiful sleeping face and feeling how I am falling in love with her again. It was the most beautiful morning in my life.

She was there even when my family left me alone (I don't blame them. I have still vivid imagine of my mother when she tried to conviced me that I should live and not die from inside... but it was hard). In those times, my beloved was with me.

    I suffer from Parkinson's disease and frequently go without sleep for days. Without music and the availability of it on TH-cam I could not cope with my life. Pieces like this have often brought me great strength and tremendous joy when everything else around seems to mean absolutely nothing . Life without music would not be worth living and I'm totally convinced that great composers who also suffered much in their lives knew that they were in some way responsible for leaving behind them the means by which others could survive and take shelter from the storm. From the mists of time they reach out,, pat our heads and whisper in our ears that everything's going to be alright. How fortunate we are to have those heroes who went before.

      A remark by Haydn late in his life which confirms your conviction: "Often, when struggling against obstacles of every sort which oppose my labors: often, when the powers of mind and body weakened, and it was difficult to continue the course I had entered on; -- a secret voice whispered to me: "there are so few happy and contented peoples here below; grief and sorrow are always their lot; perhaps your labors will once be a source from which the care-worn, or the man burdened with affairs, can derive a few moments rest and refreshment." This was indeed a powerful motive to press onwards, and this is why I now look back with cheerful satisfaction on the labors expended on this art, to which I have devoted so many long years of uninterrupted effort and exertion."

    Schubert wrote this piece for the sole purpose of playing it alongside Karoline Esterhazy, a young girl from the Austrian nobility, who received musical tuition from Schubert. Schubert was very fond of her and often commented on her wonderful playing. He loved spending time with her more than anyone else in his life.

And the brothers went on to play with Ricardo Castro as well. The artistic lineages in music and the other arts are one of the best and most important aspects of all the fields.

    This is a beautiful performance, but I think it has the same issue most modern performances of classical music have. Today, it's classical music to us. Back then, it was popular music. There were no recordings, you heard it because the best two pianists at the party sat down and played it while you drank and listened. Many of these musical ideas were new and exciting and modern at the time. There would've been a lively, crowd-pleasing atmosphere, the pianists would've played up the dramatic moments in the music even more than this.
    We're a little deaf to classical music today because it's no longer our cultural moment. For example, the melodic theme in this music, with its grace notes and percussive repetitions, was actually pretty exotic and ornamental and mysterious. And listen to what Schubert wrote at 12:51. This was entertainment, this was drama, this was what people had instead of a television. We're a much more passive audience to this music today than Schubert's audience was then, and the disposition of the audience shapes the posture of the performance.

      Kevin Mathewson--What an interesting discussion. But I still hear and respond to beauty even if it's not of our age. There's no way to recreate the zeitgeist and adapt our ears to another period in history; nevertheless, classical music is timeless. Will they still be listening to Beyonce in 300 years? I don't know if you have a Classical Revolution chapter in your city, but they might put together a string quartet or a piano quintet playing in a coffee shop or bar with all the normal noise and discussion of patrons around it. Of course the audience is more participatory, responsive and enthuiastic, and that is one interesting way to hear music, but I vastly prefer the concert hall with its respectful silence.

      we're in better situation since we're able to enjoy music of all sorts and from all corners of the world yet we still enjoy classical music , but we are much more stimulated than they were , thats why classical music could sound some what dull or boring to some people because its a music that takes its time to view its exotic and interesting bits

    This piece is another example of why Franz Schubert is in terms of talent relative to age one of the three greatest composers of all time, the others being J.S. Bach and Mozart. Schubert died at the age of 31. If you compare Schubert's works to the works any other composers, including Beethoven, written when they were 31 or younger you can appreciate the enormity of Schubert's talent. Also, this is a wonderful performance, because it is so easy to wreck the piece with a pounding and ponderous rendition of the many octave passages.

    I remember a day where I was sitting inside my house with this music playing. It was raining outside and the sky was a dark grey almost like nighttime had already arrived. The subtlety of the beginning of this piece was so powerful. Even though I hadn’t lent my ears to the piece it fit the occasion so perfectly that I couldn’t help but concentrate on it. The sky outside changed throughout the piece. At certain moments it felt like the sky was weeping, other times tears of joy. Before I knew it the whole piece finished playing and I found myself staring out the window into the wet rainy street. This piece made me feel so calm and assured that a rainy day isn’t so bad. After all music like this becomes strangely powerful when the time of day or the climate is in set to a specific mood.

      Notice that, as in the Wanderer Fantasy, the movements are played without pause, and are compressed. The opening movement only gets as far as the end of the exposition before giving way to the slow movement, which is simple A-B-A form and very terse (for Schubert). This leads directly to the fully realized Scherzo-Trio-Scherzo (with all the usual repeats). The brief transition then returns to the very opening theme; this flows into a long, elaborate, and powerful fugue, which climaxes on a discord followed by a long rest, and then the opening returns, weary, hesitant, and finally ending with a series of the most amazing chords ever penned by Schubert, or anyone else.
      This work dates from 1828, the composer's thirty-second year. He also put the finishing touches on the great" C major symphony, wrote the two piano trios, the Schwanengesang, and Auf dem Strom,; and in September completed the C major string quintet and the last three piano sonatas. In October he wrote The Shepherd on the Rock for soprano, clarinet and piano, and a choral Benedictus. On November 19th he died.
      Like many of the others who commented here I have fond memories of playing this piece, in public and private. Most of those I played it with are gone now. Hearing this beautiful performance is a reminder: Carpe diem.
      Thanks for the upload. As I write nearly a third of a million people have shared the experience. Update, June, 2019: over 3 million people. There is hope for mankind.

    I'm from CANADA. In 1971 I went to Spain and signed up at the conservatory in Sevilla. I was petrified when the teacher told me I'd be playing this with a large man with a very heavy touch. We had to practice in our apartment so the whole building had the pleasure of hearing it over and over, as did my 3 sisters. They really got to hate it which kind of ruined it for me. When I hear it now 45 years later I remember every note and am proud and relieved that we made it through 😜👍
