Music to chill by while waiting for the storm Edition---Schubert Impromptu No. 4 in A flat major.

Played by the amazing Arthur Rubinstein when he was approximately 88 years old. I attended one of his piano recitals when I was in high school and he was about 83. He was born in 1887, and I saw him perform in 1970.

And Franz Schubert may have been the most transcendental human songbird of all time.
