Schubert was also a master of the dance form and wrote prolifically for a middle-class society eager for domestic entertainment. He loved Ländler (triple time country dances), the Écossaises (supposedly Scottish), and the rich variety of genial German dances. Viennese pianos of the day produced a sound that was clear and transparent, and in this recording Liu plays both on a Steinway grand and on a copy of a mid-1820s fortepiano by Conrad Graf, a maker well known to Schubert.
