Song Information:
This is probably the best of my Switched-On efforts at devising electronic versions of classical music. My theory at the time was that what young people like about rock and techno music is the new sound of electric instruments, and I confess that I like them myself. I think that the sounds possible with modern technology are superior to those available with 16th-century technology, and I believe that Schubert would agree with me. Beethoven certainly would, because he'd be able to hear (or at least feel) music at the level of modern amplification. In fact, throughout music history, composers eagerly adopted the latest technology available. As soon as the piano was invented, they all set their clavichords out by the curb or sold them for scrap.
Unfortunately, none of my arrangements went over very well. The classical purists were outraged that I had defiled their sacred relics, and young people only wanted a heavy beat. Most people thought these arrangements were weird, but I hope that you just think it's fun to listen to. This is the Impromptu Number 4 in F-minor, Opus 142, written in about 1827 by Franz Schubert.
