The excellent argentinian conductor and pianist, Daniel Barenboim, celebrated his 50 years on stages with a great concert in his Buenos Aires (Teatro Colón).
He played this sublime page of the Schubert´s production for piano:
"Musical Moment No.3 in F minor Op.34 D.958".
Along with the Impromptus, they are among the most frequently played of all Schubert's piano music, and have been recorded many times. No. 3 in F minor has been arranged by Leopold Godowsky and others.
It has been said that Schubert was deeply influenced in writing these pieces by the Impromptus, Op. 7, of Jan Václav Voříšek (1822).
They were published by Leidersorf in Vienna in 1828, under the title "Six Momens musicals". The correct French words are now usually used moments (instead of momens), and musicaux (instead of musicals). The sixth number was published in 1824 in a Christmas album under the title Les plaintes d'un troubadour.
