Another excerpt from Watts on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood in the 80s where he plays this Schubert piece as an example of something he learned as a young boy.

I knew I could find videos of Andre Watts on the Mr. Rogers show. I was going to submit those clips in case I couldn't find them. I love that Schubert piece he played. I wonder if Andre knows Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9, No. 2.

Actually, the piece is from a small suite which Schubert published under the name "Six Moments Musicaux". It was named in French for obvious reasons: French was the most widely spoken language in Europe at the time.

My error -- I did say "about" eight, "or so". So many piano pieces, including these, are bound up for me with memories of my dad, who studied with Saperton at the Curtis Institute in the dark early days of the Depression. As for the language of the title -- German was plenty good enough for Schubert for (I'd guess) the bulk of his oeuvre. Surely cultured people were/are multilingual.

I would give this a 10 for Watts' sweetness and voice. I still remember the splash he made (ca. 1968??) on TV, suddenly replacing someone for the Liszt Concerto (#1?) with Bernstein and company. "Moment musicaux" is an unfortunate blemish by the poster -- this is non-French. Moment musical, maybe. "Moments musicaux" is the piece, about eight moments or so. -2 for the blemish results in a +8.

Agreed. This lack of dynamics on this specific piece doesn't make him a bad pianist, however. It's all about interpretation and their own level of expression, and what they believe to express the piece the best on their terms. And if he sees that the dynamics given in this piece suited him best, then so be it. However, it could also be poor recording quality, the performance was shot in the 80s, you know. ;)

I uploaded this by request, but honestly, this is a boring performance; I really think it was an impromptu thing. The playing is clean, unassuming, and lyrical--no doubt--but lacking in any real dynamic shading. Every motif is repeated AT LEAST once and Watts doesn't make any real attempt to make any one "musical moment" unique, which is the real challenge of this little gem.

I completely loath his facial expressions and head movement. He makes this piece sound completely childish, which in a way is a good thing, but it does lack some dynamics and lyrics.
