Impromptu Op.90 No.4 // SCHUBERT

Franz Schubert's Impromptus are a series of eight pieces for solo piano composed in 1827. They were published in two sets of four impromptus each: the first two pieces in the first set were published in the composer's lifetime as Op. 90; the second set was published posthumously as Op. 142 in 1839 (with a dedication added by the publisher to Franz Liszt). The third and fourth pieces in the first set were published in 1857.

The fourth Impromptu, in A♭ major, actually begins in A♭ minor, though this is written as A♭ major with accidentals. The opening theme consists of cascading arpeggios followed by murmuring chordal responses. These are repeated and developed, going through C♭ major and B minor before finally reaching A♭ major. There is a subordinate theme, accompanied by the arpeggio, varied with triplets. In the central section, in C♯ minor, the arpeggios are replaced by a chordal accompaniment. This section ventures into the major mode towards its conclusion, but reverts to the minor. The opening section is repeated and the work ends in A♭ major. The tempo marking is Allegretto.
