SCHUBERT ON SATURDAY
“No one feels another’s grief, no one understands another’s joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.” - Franz Schubert
A full day, but also enjoyable. We went out, did some shopping, visited a friend, came back home, did some gardening and some chores around the house. Then it was time to have some lunch and to watch a movie. Went out this evening and now it’s time to enjoy some Schubert played wonderfully by Valentina Lisitsa. Here is his Impromptu in B flat major…
I have been listening to this while reading your posts and it is an exquisite piece so beautifully played by this very talented pianist... Poor Schubert had a terrible life and the quote you start with gives an idea of the anguish he had to deal with.
I have been blogging daily on this platform for several years now. It is surprising that I have persisted as the world is changing and "microblogging" is now the norm. I blog to amuse myself, make comment on current affairs, externalise some of my creativity, keep notes on things that interest me, learn something new and to surprise myself with things that I discover about this wonderful, and sometimes crazy, world we live in.
I sometimes get the impression that I am on a soapbox delivering a monologue, so your comments are welcome.
This is a beautiful piece of music played in a fantastic and sensitive way by a gifted performer. Wonderful!
