Variations

Part 11 of Mathieu Gaudet's complete Schubert piano sonatas cycle contains the fascinating second book of Impromptus D. 935, including the immortal Theme and Variation in B-flat major. The youthful Sonata no. 2 in C major D. 279 and the "Noble": Waltzes D. 969 complete this spectacular album, full of singing melodies, contrasting atmospheres and romantic drama.
