Hi Dominic and everyone!
Here's my contribution to the Schubert Challenge: the iconic lied "Gretchen am Spinnrade" (Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel), a gorgeous masterpiece by the young Schubert through the Liszt's magical transcription.
I've really enjoyed learning this piece, one I once thought was beyond my abilities. Thanks to this challenge, I found the motivation to take it on. Of course, it still needs more polishing, as it's full of tiny details that deserve careful attention. But it's the kind of piece I never want to neglect after having put so much work into it.
Lately, I've also been playing Chopin's Etude op. 25 nº1 "Aeolian Harp", which I think has helped me a lot, especially in learning to play with a relaxed hand and in separating the beautiful melody from the spinning-wheel accompaniment.
Now, it's time to keep exploring more Schubert pieces, including other Liszt transcriptions.
Thank you so much, Dominic, for giving us the opportunity to share our love for Schubert's piano music!

Hi, am here to submit this video. After hours of practicing, at last manage to get it recorded and share it here. Decided to learn this Impromptu D.899 No.1. Ever since am aware of this piece, yet, I was unable to learnt it. Not sure why. But, one thing for sure, among the 4 pieces of D.899, this has become my number one likes. Not sure it's due to my age or not. I starts to feel the piece more and more. I felt the sadness, but also some lovely soothing melody in between. Still has lots of techniques needs to be polished and corrected. Nevertheless, still hope that you guys enjoy this little piece which I would like to share this time.
Thanks again to Tonebase and Dominic for having this session.
