Hi everyone,

I'm a filmmaker working on a documentary about Franz Schubert, made for the European channel ARTE around the 200th anniversary of his death in 2028. It isn't meant to be a purely musicological portrait. I'm interested in something more personal: why music that Schubert wrote 200 years ago, for a small circle of friends in Vienna, still means something to people all over the world today.

I'm not looking for experts. I'm looking for people who don't work in music professionally, but for whom a piece by Schubert became personally important at some point. Maybe a song carried you through a hard time. Maybe a particular piece was playing at a funeral, or on a long drive, or on a night you still remember. Maybe you play something of his at home and have never once been to a concert.

Those are the stories I'd like to hear — especially the quiet ones people rarely tell.

If you're willing, share it in the comments or send me a message. I'm grateful for anything you write, with no expectation attached. If I later end up meeting anyone for the film, I'd discuss all of that with you personally and in good time.

Thanks for reading.

Hello, Ive been learning for 6 months
I practice 2 hours daily.

What do you think about starting to learn Mozart k545 first movement?

Just finished learning clemente sonatina in C major first movement

Im writing a piece about autumn and i need a bitter sweet almost unsettling coldness to it because its a 3 part piece about winter coming and taking it all

the reason its getting hate is because its in C# i posted it once and i had over 50 comments calling me names for putting it in C#

Yes ive tried other keys and i found this one is the best the others make it sound to happy and comfy

Am i the one in the wrong for choosing this key i would like yalls help

(edit) This post has gotten multiple down votes and im not trying to convince yall to upvote it or agree with me and i get the argument with Db but i would need to rewrite it and the only reason yall want Db is because people dont know how to sit down and learn a piece thats not easily sight readable . I am not trying to cause hate i am just explaining my reasons for this pieces key and saying my experience of getting hate.

Im sorry for all the people im troubled with this im just trying to write a piece how i want no hate please.

I was lucky enough to have caught this performance, on video (not the best video) but I was able to place microphones in the piano, and remaster the audio at home, so this sounds really good..almost as good as being there!!

His own words

"This is a completely-completely different piano universe from everything that has existed before", Melnyk explains.

But in reality he is just playing fast.

Or am I missing something?
