Description

Written while Schubert was taking a rest cure and acting as music teacher to the daughters of Count Esterházy at their country home in Hungary, these duets include Variations sur une theme original, D. 813; the gypsyish Divertissement à la Hongroise, D. 818; Six grandes marches et trios, D. 819; Sonata in C Major, D. 812; and more. "His rejuvenated spirits, in spite of his longing to be back in Vienna, resulted in some of the world's most invigorated, aggressively happy four-hand music in the repertoire…. The virtuoso character [of the Marches and Trios] captivated Liszt, who transcribed them for solo performance. The Divertissement à la Hongroise features catchy syncopations, cascading scales, swirling figures, tremolandi, and offbeat appoggiaturas; the three sections keep the performers' fingers and musical instincts sharp…. They seem thoroughly engaged in this alternately audacious and sweet music, and their sound is strong and clear."—Audiophile Audition
