Impromptu, moment musical: despite their connotation, these and similar designations are not paraphrases of improvisation, but refer instead to the capturing of a moment in music, in the sense of a genre painting or a character piece. This sense at the same time tacitly implies a negative definition: "not a sonata". In other words the genre of the moment renounces the demand for completeness, for perfection conveyed by the synthesis of the sonata form.

Press Quotes
A carefully and beautifully produced release where Csalog's playing is intimate, thoughtful, introspective, dreamy sometimes, as if he were seeking to draw the listener into Schubert's tone world. It is also very musical and polished to a glossy veneer. There is not a lot of fire or verve, and sometimes the piano tone is fleecy. But this is quite in order on both counts; there are few passages in these works demanding virtuosity, and Schubert's pianos were much lighter and less sonorous than today's instruments.
—David Mulbury, American Record Guide, January/February 2004
