Moments Musicaux Op.94

As their title suggests, Franz Schubert’s “Moment musicaux” are quite short pieces – shorter than his “Impromptus”. Six pieces in various moods and of moderate difficulty are collected under the opus number 94 and edited with our customary Urtext quality. It is impressive how, for example in the first “Moment” in C major, Schubert the sovereign harmonist touches different tonal areas within a single movement. Melancholic and blissful melodies like those in the second “Moment” create almost magical moments. In contrast, whimsical merriment sparkles in other “Moments” – for example, in the very popular fourth piece in F minor. The group of six ends with a plaintive Song without Wordsin A flat major.
