Program Notes
An impromptu is a “musical improvisation.” Franz Schubert (January 31, 1797 – November 19, 1828) was one of the first composers to use this form. The Austrian born Schubert composed two series of four piano pieces titled Impromptu opus 90 and Impromptu opus 142. Schubert’s works are rarely seen in the wind band world, so this piece is a most welcome addition to that repertoire.
