VOŘÍŠEK, J.H.: Piano Works (Complete), Vol. 1 - 6 Impromptus / Fantasie / Piano Sonata (Urban)
Bohemian-born composer Jan Hugo Voříšek settled in Vienna and became a close friend of Schubert. Voříšek’s Impromptus Op. 7 were the first to bear this title, their lyric influence anticipating the entire Romantic period. The brilliant Fantasy combines improvisation with structural rigour, while the Sonata Op. 20 is a masterpiece to rival the sonatas of Beethoven.
