Tomorrow (January 31) is the birthday of Franz Schubert, who lived far too short a life, dying at the age of 31 in 1828. Still, Schubert was remarkably prolific in his short career, writing over 1,500 works. The majority of those are for voice and piano, but he also left behind a large body of music for solo piano, including this Impromptu No 4 in A-flat major, D 899 performed by Arthur Rubenstein (which is a little harder for Scott Drayco to play these days after his injury, although he does his best).
