You deserve so many more views/subscribers than you currently have! You're easily one of the best classical music RUclips creators and a fantastic pianist as well. Clearly you're much more thoughtful as an artist than most pianists on this platform. The format you have for videos is perfect: give unique insight into the piece and the composer, then actually play the piece and give your interpretation of it. I still very much enjoy your videos without playing though.

Best recording of this piece in my opinion

[@pianowoman]

Very inspiring channel! Well done.

Absolutely beautiful performance and informative analysis!

This really helps me as well by emphasizing this for the ABRSM test for level 8 which sounds awesome, and I chose this piece because it is really amazing and sounds really well to me with me especially with the pedal added to this piece.

Thank you for the really informative commentary followed by a simply exquisite performance of this Schubert Impromptu. Sublimely beautiful music played by a pianist who, as JG accurately remarks, is just fantastic. Nearly seventeen minutes of pure joy: B R A V O !❤

Thank you Graham!

HI Cole, I truly enjoyed your introduction/description and detailed illustration of how this beautiful piece is played. You really did a great job with this masterpiece. It delights me to see such a gifted young person like yourself take interest in these classics. I am bamboozled how there are only 1300+ views of your video here. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you for such a helpful TEACHING tool (watching our hands at half speed really helps me learn!)

Yes, Schubert was a "sleepwalker" who worshiped his opposite, Beethoven. And they both wrote great stuff.

[@SuperKripke]

Amazing how the theme in the A section is so similar to that of the first section in Beethoven sonata 12 but has a completely different character to it.

I dont know if its just my ears but the recording sounds really damn nice. Maybe its just what im not used to listening to? I could really hear pianissimo at the start. Gives it a neat nocturnal nature (did you see that alliteration?!!?)

[@TheIndependentPianist]

That was a loftily lilting lyric! 🙂

[@kofiLjunggren]

Just a suggestion, have you every thought of having the performance first and then the analysis. Maybe I think people would be more captivated? As said, just a suggestion and I Enjoye your vídeos very much how they are rn!

[@TheIndependentPianist]

I have thought of that as well-maybe I should try that next time and see if it works better. Thank you for that suggestion!
