Piano music by Schubert and Ravel

The third of four concerts in which Tim Horton plays Schubert's major piano sonatas

“The Crucible Studio in Sheffield is one of the best places in which to hear and play music … The experience is particularly intense for performers and listeners and I think that the feeling of ‘them and us’, which is noticeable in many traditional venues, is completely eradicated.”

Tim has assembled a decidedly upbeat trio of pieces for this recital. Schubert’s lyrical and romantic Impromptus preface Ravel’s Noble and Sentimental Waltzes. Schubert’s Sonata in D, inspired by a holiday he took in the Alps, is rare in his later output, being almost entirely positive, naïve and carefree.
