Piano Lesson on Schubert Impromptu Op. 90 No. 4 in A flat Major D. 899

Piano Lesson with Laszlo Gyimesi on Schubert Impromptu Op. 90 No. 4 in A flat Major D. 899
Arpeggios, phrasing, harmony, pedal, articulation, rhythm.
The impromptu is a 19th-century piano composition intended to produce the illusion of spontaneous improvisation. Schubert composed them in 1827. This impromptu is written in a ternary form, also called song form, where the first section (A) is repeated after second section (B). the opening theme consists of cascading arpeggios followed by chordal responses. There is a subordinate theme, accompanied by arpeggio triplets. Section B is a deeply felt, profound song with a chordal accompaniment.
László Gyimesi was born in Szentes, Hungary. He studied with Peter Solymos and Albert Simon at the Franz Liszt Academy and graduated with „Grand Prix“ in 1971. Further studies with Géza Anda in Zürich, with György Sebök at the Indiana University in Bloomington (USA) and with Stefan Askenase in Bonn. He was awarded prizes at several international piano competitions: Leeds/England, Liszt-Bartók/Budapest, Jose Iturbi/Valencia.
László Gyimesi has given concerts in his native Hungary, USA, Canada, Cuba, Czech Republic, Germany, Holland, Italy, Japan, Romania, Spain and Switzerland and made recordings for Ex Libris and Musikszene Switzerland. He held professorships for piano in Stuttgart and Basel for over three decades.

[@brmh1667]

Excellent lesson. Thank you very much. My version has the B broken chord as a Major! Also the triplets on the last semi-quavers aren't produced. Now it has become even harder! But a great lesson on a challenging piece of music. Thank you for your help.

Hi @Hungarian Piano Tradition Laszlo Gyimesi, thank you for this lesson... But I am afraid my level is not high enough. I would really like to be able to play this piece but I only had rather informal piano lessons from 8yo to 13yo and I was never taught scales, arpeggios or harmony at all... Then I didn't always had a piano and never had lessons again... So I am 36yo now and I started again by myself about 3 years ago. I can play it but not well, with mistakes, and I seem to have reached a plateau in my progression, I don't know how to improve anymore. I need to find a good piano teacher but in the meantime, what would you recommend me to do? I bought a scales book etc but I am not sure how to practice..

[@huynh4128]

That was an incredible lesson. Anyone working on this piece should definitely see this video.

I just started looking at this piece for next semester. Thank you for the comprehensive analysis! I'm so glad I watched it before I seriously started working on it. My inspiration came from Khatia Buniatishvili's rendition. 💜🙏
