If there were a “love” button, I would press it for this video. I was hungry for some story about Schubert, and this wonderful gentleman provides not only the story but also the music and perspectives of Schubert’s life and character. I really wish there would be more videos like this on TH-cam.
I agree …..great video
Theres a heart button. Here it is. ❤
I am in tears for the short life of Schubert. I always felt that Schubert was a deep deep thinker of life its self expressed in "Im Abendrot."
Our beloved Schubert... his life was tragic and triumphant at the same time. What a gift he gave the world! Thank you for this wonderful video
My piano teacher would be so proud of this guys finger and hand placement.
Thank you so much I was craving a kind of documentary about Schubert and this enchanted me !
Amazing playing also, Ständchen’s my favorite piece of Schubert.
Thanks again I clicked the follow button.
From France,
That was so wonderful.The most sensitive performance of Schubert I have ever heard.Like hearing it real for the first time.Thank you so so much.I am nearly eighty years old
This documentary of my favorite Franz Schubert is wonderful. Productions like this are from the ❤️. So entertaining.
Such a marvellous doku about one of my favorite composers! And such a heavily underrated channel, what a shame! Thank you so much!
I came here to learn more about this composer that I fell in love with a few days ago. After decades of not having any taste for classical music one day as part of some feet on TH-cam I heard Schubert for the first time. I didn't know what the music was I just knew that there was an innocence to it that made me feel a lot of feelings. So, I've just begun my journey! I thought I'd like others, but alas, I found them loud, abrasive. And not warm at all. I hope when I listen to others by him, they will resonate with my soul like" Serenade"
For me, the song is serenade… and then u sat and played it… my heart!
Great video, thank u so much for making it!
I'd have liked to have had a Music teacher like you when I was school. Thank you ... I'll look forward to watching the rest later ... you expertly took us through Schubert's life ... and your time at the Piano showed your respect and sensitivity to this Composer.
I'm so grateful that you uploaded these videos on Schubert's life and music. I'm starting a new project with my string quartet where we provide guided mini concerts where we try to show emotions / stories using excerpts of music and Schubert's Death and The Maiden is one of our pieces. You inspired me because your work proves that understanding the context of the piece helps us appreciate it and connect to it more. That's what happened to me when I listened to yours and your wife performance at the end of part II. That's really great. Thank you and greetings from Amsterdam.
Thank you. This was delightful. You added to my understanding of Franz, and i much much enjoyed your creative hands.
Franz is accessible. No props. No excesses. He took us straight to his heart.
Thank you, I've been a Schubert lover for many decades but I so enjoy learning more. I recently heard Jessye Norman singing 'The Earlking' on youtube; what a superb singer for this short music drama.
Your interpretation of that first piece, sounded excellent! And thanks to whomever set the audio up on the piano. Very nice, natural, and best of all, clear tone!
A beautiful musical biography. A short life of genius and tragedy. So well presented.
Found this series quite by accident glad I did please keep doing these learned a lot today! 495 subscribers that’s a crime! Great content here.
Extraordinary! Franz Schubert has been one of my favorite composers for most of my 80 years. After a lifelong appreciation of most of his Lieder and piano compositions, in the last decade I started to pay more attention to his chamber music and symphonies, and I concluded that he is second to no other classical composer. In fact, he deserves first place together with Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and a few others ( at this level there is no order ). I have to thank Mr. Tengstrand for his interpretation of the 3d Impromptu Op. 90 as... a Lied !! Of course, it is pure lyricism, but I had never heard it like this. I will start to play it at a faster tempo and bring out the singing like he does. It is part of the Celestial music that Shubert was destined to bring down to us. I am also thankful for the excellent performance of Schubert's Ständchen, of which I didn't know that Liszt had put his rushing fingers into. I like its first part, where the piano replaces an uncertain voice, but I can do without the later ornamentations, ha ha. I will get the score, and now play its first part without having to sing to it.
The liszt's transcription of standchen was beautifully played. Nice documentary also.
Excellent commentary and excellent playing.
How refreshing! Interesting information and VERY beautifully played. Clearly straight from the heart, which is rare in a superficial world so focused on technique and 'impressive' performances rather than touching performances. I´m very grateful that not everyone joins the 'circus.' And I remember that you used to practice at KMH many years ago when I studied there. But I didn´t have the pleasure to listen to your playing back then.
Thank you so much Ayako!
@@WorldOfBeethoven As I usually say; I´m just honest. For some people that´s favorable. ;-)
Amazingly great and educational program. Thank you so much for enlightening me even more on one of my favorit composers. Wonderful piano playing as well. Thank you very much!
The most empathetic Schubert I’ve ever heard. Wonderful!
Thank you for making that video. This has greatly increased my understanding of Schubert's life, struggles and how we were so graced to have him for the sort while he was on this earth. I look forward to watching your other videos. I really enjoy how you put his history in context with the political environment and laws of the time.
Fascinating abt that marriage law. How dreadful for him. Thank you so much for this insightful documentary.
I am thrilled to see and hear this. During covid, the children I care for ages 5 and 8 have become very interested in classical composers. Haydn, Mozart ,and now, Shubert. I am reading them old books published in the 1930'S . The illustrations are in black and white. Your hands on the piano are beautiful, as are the melodies we can listen to .Thank you.
Thank you so much for this comment, there are few things more inspiring than contributing to children's experience of and interest for the wonderful world of classical music. Heartwarming to read about your book-reading, say hello to the kids from me!
it will be my pleasure.
Thanks a million. That is so productive.
Thanks for the vídeo! Make me understand a lot about his story! Imagine if he had not turn sick so Young, what a lot of masterpieces he will produce 😢
Thank you for your effort and commitment. This was interesting and enjoyable.
I am delighted to have found this video three years late - thank you algorithm! Per I saw you play years ago at Scandinavia House in NYC and still have the copy of your CD I purchased at that time, "Me and My Steinway." This is a happy coincidence. I am a late-in-life piano student so I am looking forward to checking out your other videos. Cheers from New Hampshire!
How nice to hear from you! The Scandinavia House series is still going strong, and the series has now spread to Princeton also! Thank you so much for your comment!
Bravo!!!
Amazing, thank you!
amazing, thank you so much!
I use classical music, Schubert especially, to put my dog to sleep at night.
Tack/Thank you Per!🌺
This is outstanding;should be offered as an introduction to Schubert to all seekers wanting to explore the mysteries of his genius.Thank you.
Thank you so much, this makes me inspired and motivated to dig into the third episode which I am making now. Planned premiere is January 31, which is the birthdate of Schubert!
@@WorldOfBeethoven Can't wait! Have you come upon Frank Ruppert's Schubert abd the Mysterium Magnum?Revelatory - helped to confirm my intuitions.
🤩 This is just amazing! Thank you for your great job!
This was amazing. You really have great talent in transposing your knowledge, insights and skills to others. Thank you! And looking forward to new similar content. :)
Thank you so much, it means a lot!
Thank you for a wonderful education of Schubert!
Härligt! Tack!
Thanks for creating such a wonderful movie, please keep producing quality work!
Awaiting 10 May! Take care, Per and Shan-Shan
This is really wonderful. Excellent job sir, and thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to not only give the historical background but to play so beautifully, Do you know what Saliery thought of Schubert's compositions? It would be most interesting to know. I love and often play Schubert's songs. His melodic lines flow with the simplicity of true melody and his harmonies seem to flow alongside. Thank you once again.
thank you so much for this wonderful video!
Bravo. Thank you so much!!!
Fantastiskt härligt! Hoppas på mera Schubert!
Ser fram emot konsert på UKK i Uppsala framöver.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Schubert plus playing his music !
Enjoyed both the playing and the historical background. More of this?
Yes, since I am doing absolutely everything myself it does take some time, but there will be more.
It's a amazing story about Shubert! very interested! thank you so much for you great job!
Wonderful! Very interesting, and so good to hear you play, Per. Looking forward to the day we can all be back in Victor Borge hall.
There really is a Victor Borge Hall? Or was this meant metaphorical?
Appreciate you for all your efforts you have put in this video to tell us about culture. Trends will die, culture is forever, dont stop!
Very enjoyable and well-done. I do not think, however, that it has been definitively established that Schubert died of syphilis. Unlike the tragic Schumann who almost certainly did, Schubert did not exhibit the terrible ravages of late-stage syphilis and more likely died of typhoid fever.
I
Thanks Ann, you are correct. I will actually mention that in the last episode. I guess one can be fairly sure that it contributed to an early death, though. Scholars have different point of views, the most likely might be that he died of a combination of continuous fever and a body weakened by both syphilis and the mercury treatment.
@@WorldOfBeethoven Exactly. His body was doubtless weakened by syphilis and whatever harsh treatments he underwent for it. I mention this not to nitpick--your documentary is really very fine--but to put things in perspective. Schubert was thwarted both personally and professionally but I do not think his life was tragic. Newcomers to his life and music may wrongly conclude that it was, though, if some of the facts are not put into context. That, in turn, may affect how they experience his music, which should never be taken except on its own glorious terms.
Again, thank you for a presentation far above others available here.
Masterpiece! Thank You! Great work! ❤
Thank you so much!
Waiting eagerly for the 31st of January!
I just now made the final little changes to the last episode! I will upload it as soon as it is rendered, so the Premiere link should be up tonight. See you here on Sunday!
Nedrans, missade premiären. Ser fram emot fler videor :)
I am delighted to have found your wonderful videos about Schubert. Thank you so much. I host a little home Music Appreciation group and your videos are just perfect. Will you be producing others in the future?
Hi Brian, and thank you so much for your kind comment! I am making more videos but not everything will land on this channel, if you want send me your e-mail address to per.tengstrand@gmail.com and I can let you know more! A Music Aprreciation group sounds awesome btw.
Hälsning och stort tack för en trevlig stund från oss i Växjö.
Växjö! I‘ve been there 50 years ago :-) Hilsen fra tyskland!
Hi Per, I know you from another TH-cam video "The ride of the Cossacks" for Piano. Totally different but GREAT! Thank you.
I did not know Salieri was Schubert's teacher... it is not enough to be a genius. Mentoring, education and support is needed to become Schubert
Franz Schubert. For me only second to Bach as the greatest composer who ever lived.
Same.
Absolutely without question !
I think he is above Bach, Bach was very genius but it seems to my, my personal preference bach just wrote as many notes as he could fit within a chord in 4 bars
@@nasirferguson4098 agreed. I have yet to shed 1 tear listening to Bach's music. Schubert on the other hand....
@@BeautifulClassics yes, I listen to Bach when I need to focus in a way. I listen to Chopin and Schubert when I want to feel something.
Zehr gut! Waiting for a second part of Schubert's life! I was in Vienna recently visiting Schubert's places and there is a lot to say about his life! Thanks for this video!
Edit: I saw the second part opening the main page of the channel! :)
Thank you so much! There is already a second video of what is planned as a trilogy: th-cam.com/video/Cb6jyxSIk2Y/w-d-xo.html
@@WorldOfBeethoven I was just watching the second video while you answered to my comment! How strange but magical! You should have thousands of followers! :)
@@TheGreatMaster77 Channel is rather new, but I hope to build more followers by doing more quality content :). And the help of others sharing the videos!
*Salieri mentioned*
March 26, 21. Another Covid variant is working its way through the Western World so perhaps you'll find time to do another project as fine as this one, which was delightful. Thank you and may you and yours surmount all the challenges of that demon, Covid.
Strålande! Pär
Schubert died from typhus!
Scholars have different opinions on exactly what he "died of", even though the syphilis certainly weakened his immune system. I actually talk about this in the third episode since you are correct that it is insufficient to say that he died of only one thing or another.
I love this program! Thank you!!
Would you please tell me who was the pianist who played the Impromptu Op.142, No.2 in the beginning of the program (also in the background)?
Thank you! The pianist is me (Per Tengstrand)in the beginning (Impromptu op. 142 No. 2).
Your Impromptu was the best interpretation I have ever heard! It gave me a new insight! Thank you so very much! 🙏
To be so immersed in the history and works of Schubert....this is an enviable life!

What if Schubert lived longer?
Er hätte uns noch viele wunderschöne Musikwerke geschenkt.
Is there any chance for me to offer good subtitles in portuguese for these videos? I would like to use your videos for my graduate students in Brazil. Thanks in advance!
