Sonate As-dur (D557). In a way this sonata, which was composed in 1817 is to be regarded as a homage to the aesthetics of Mozart and Haydn. It is exceptional that a sonata in A flat major ends with an Allegro in E flat major.
\nEinunddreissig T\u00e4nze. The stereotype of Schubert, reveling \u2013 at parties \u2013 in impromptu piano performances, tirelessly stringing one waltz to another, is not unfounded. The dances, produced in huge quantities by the composer from his earliest years to his death, may best be compared with hastily sketched diary notes. In this way Schubert had at his disposal an inexhaustible store of certain themes and modulations on which he could draw at his own discretion. A solution in order to introduce a meaningful structure in this immense mer \u00e0 boire is offered here by arranging the keys of the various dances according to the principle which Chopin applied in his Pr\u00e9ludes opus 28: C\/a, G\/e, D\/b; etcetera. Thus, at the end of the cycle we inevitably end up in D minor, the key of the song Der Tod und das M\u00e4dchen. With the comforting words spoken by Death, the cycle, which may be interpreted as a metaphor of Schubert\u2019s life, comes to its final conclusion.
\nLeen de Broekert (1949-2009) studeerde Piano en Orgel aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. Hij studeerde af in beide vakken. Hij bekwaamde zich ook als klavecinist en fortepianist bij Jos van Immerseel. In 1979 was hij een van de laureaten van het Internationaal Orgelconcours in Brugge, met een eervolle vermelding voor zijn Interpretatie van Bach. Als fortepianist en organist werd hij regelmatig gevraagd voor concerten in zowel Duitsland als Nederland. Hij trad ook op in Engeland, Frankrijk, Belgi\u00eb, Zweden, Oostenrijk, Itali\u00eb en Zwitserland en nam verschillende cd's op, zowel op pianoforte als orgel. Leen de Broekert was organist van de Koorkerk in Middelburg. Hij overleed op zestigjarige leeftijd, na een kort ziekbed, in Middelburg op 29 juli 2009.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Leen de Broekert plays Schubert on fortepiano. Included on this CD are, among others, his Dreizehn Vatiationen \u00fcber ein Thema von Anselm H\u00fcttenbrenner (D 576), Sonate As-dur (D557) and Einunddreissig T\u00e4nze.
\nThe Dreizehn Vatiationen \u00fcber ein Thema von Anselm H\u00fcttenbrenner (D 576)were written in August 1817. As for rhythmical structure and key the theme from H\u00fcttenbrenner\u2019s string quartet opus 3 has clearly been inspired by the Allegretto from Beethoven\u2019s 7th symphony. Schubert\u2019s cycle of variations is characterized by a delicate refinement and polyphonic structure of the various voices. In this way the work reminds one of a string quartet. Nowhere are the contents sacrificed to empty virtuoso rattle.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[72],"product_tag":[179,175],"class_list":["post-5525","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-cd","product_tag-leen-de-broekert","product_tag-pianoworks","pa_aantal-cds-68","pa_aantal-tracks-76","pa_type-2-cd","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5525"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5725,"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5525\/revisions\/5725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5525"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5525"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zefirrecords.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
