A little Schubertiade to brighten the gloom
For some time I have been nudging (yes, I am that kind of person) two young boys in my family, two cousins who are both learning the piano, to try Schubert’s delightful (and not very military) Marche Militaire together. With not much success until recently… but now they are stuck in their (neighboring) homes, and here is what comes out:
OK, not quite Horowitz and Rubinstein yet… (When the Carnegie Hall recital comes — will there ever be concerts at Carnegie Hall again? — I promise to post the announcement here with an offer for discounted tickets.) But I hope that in these trying times for all of us it brightens your day as it does not cease to brighten mine.
(Note added 21 March: there is already a complete and better rehearsed version — I have updated the above link to point to it.)
