Playing Schubert’s piano pieces with perfection is one of the toughest things in the world. Especially the Sonata in D major. Many renowned pianists have taken on this challenge, yet no performance has ever been flawless. There’s no rendition you could call perfect. Want to know why? It’s because the piece itself is imperfect. Robert Schumann called it ‘incredibly excessive’. But it’s exactly this kind of imperfection that captivates the human heart 💖. You’ll soon see. In this world, people quickly grow tired of things that aren’t dull, and things that don’t bore us are often the most tedious.
