Allegretto in A major - Hommage a Franz Schubert

Hello my dear friends ,

This Allegretto is a heartfelt tribute to my beloved Franz Schubert, whose music has been a constant source of inspiration and admiration. Through its lyrical character, harmonic colours, and contrasting moods, this piece reflects my deep affection for Schubert’s musical world and the profound sensitivity that makes his music so timeless.

Though written in my own hand, it is offered with gratitude and love to a composer whose music continues to speak directly to the soul.

Nice piece again, my friend - sounds gentle and beautiful as always! I also love Schubert and you said your favorite is D959, right? That is awesome and a masterpiece. My favorite personally is Piano Sonata No. 21; with that first section, I immediately get immersed into his beautiful world. I recently thought about you - if you made a slightly different style, what would it sound like, like Gymnopédie, or an atonal one... I'm sure that you definitely have a beautiful musical soul and are also expressing it in a wonderful way. Thank you for sharing this piece, have a good day 😊 You are the YC legendary composer!

Best,

Lithl.

My dear friend, thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful words! It always makes me happy to know that my music reaches you in such a way. And yes, Schubert’s D.959 is indeed one of my absolute favourites, although I find it almost impossible to choose just one work of his. His music possesses a depth, tenderness and humanity that I have rarely encountered elsewhere. His last three piano sonatas are, to me, among the greatest treasures in the entire piano repertoire.

I found your question about exploring a different style particularly interesting. I have occasionally wondered what my musical language might sound like outside the Classical and Romantic world that I love so deeply. Perhaps something more impressionistic, in the spirit of Satie’s Gymnopédies, would be an interesting experiment. Atonal music, however, would probably take me much further away from my natural musical instincts! Harmony, melody and a certain sense of tonal warmth are very much at the heart of how I think and feel about music. Still, one never knows where inspiration might lead.

And thank you for calling me the legendary composer of YC! Haha! That is far too kind of you, my friend, but I truly appreciate your friendship and encouragement. It means a great deal to me.

Warmest wishes, and have a wonderful day! 😊
