Lettres d'amour

'You were often on my mind when I was writing', wrote Robert Schumann to Joseph Joachim who had encouraged him to write this concerto. In view of Schumann's illness, however, Joachim began to have his doubts about the value of the work. In his will, Joachim prohibited the ? rst performance until the 100th anniversary of Schumann's death in 1956. After detailed editorial work, the premiere was brought forward to 1937. The theme of the middle movement probably formed the basis of Schumann's Geistervariationen ('Ghost Variations'), the character of the third movement is that of a grand polonaise. Yehudi Menuhin who performed the world premiere of the unedited version of Schumann's solo part saw in this piece 'the bridge between Beethoven's and Brahms' concertos'. Instrumentation : violin and orchestra

Eulenburg Miniature Scores

Die "Kinderszenen", entstanden im Frühjahr 1838, gehören zu den bekanntesten und beliebtesten Werken der Klavierliteratur. Vor allem Nr. 7, die "Träumerei", trat ab der 2. Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts einen beispiellosen Siegeszug durch die Musikwelt an. Die vorliegende, sorgfältig revidierte Ausgabe berücksichtigt erstmals handschriftliche Verbesserungen und veränderte Tempoangaben von Schumanns Hand in einem der beiden erhaltenen Exemplare der Erstausgabe von 1839, das 1994 in den Besitz des Robert-Schumann-Hauses in Zwickau gelangte. Von der "Instruktiven Ausgabe" Clara Schumanns unterscheidet sich diese Edition u. a. durch die Metronomangaben, weshalb die Stücke hinsichtlich ihres Tempos und ihrer Phrasierung von dem bisher gewohnten Klangbild z. T. erheblich abweichen. Instrumentation : piano op. 15

Scenes from Childhood - Easy pieces for the Pianoforte. op. 15. piano.

The fact that Ouverture, Scherzo und Finale is hardly known may be due to the dif ? culty of categorizing it. In letters and notes, one can occasionally ? nd the designation 'suite', 'symphoniette' and even 'symphony' although the work was not included by Schumann in the canon of his four symphonies. It does not even appear in the 'Cycle of Overtures' which he created in the 1850s. Originally, Schumann had composed the Ouverture as an independent orchestral work, adding the other two parts later. The ? nal completion took twelve years altogether, and during that time, many passages were rejected or revised. Instrumentation : orchestra op. 52

At first described as a 'religious song' by Schumann, the motet 'Verzweifle nicht' could be heard with organ accompaniment for the first time on 4 July 1850 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the University's St. Pauli choral society in Leipzig. He wrote the organ version specifically for this performance for he had originally planned an orchestral accompaniment. That, however, could only be completed later and was eventually premiered in 1853. In a letter to Schumann, Herrmann Langer, the conductor of both world premieres, mentioned 'the wonderful effect which the same has produced' and that, to him, 'the motet was one of the most stimulating and inspiring creations in male-voice literature'. Instrumentation : 2 mixed choirs op. 93

Symphonie n° 1 en si bémol majeur - Le Printemps. op. 38. orchestra. Partition d'étude.

The 19th century was not only the era of great forms, monumental symphonies and melodious sonatas, no, the Romantic composers proved to be versatile and highly imaginative on the field of little music pieces as well. Robert Schumann was a master of the character piece for "his" instrument, the piano. From thirty of such poetic miniatures, he selected thirteen in 1838 for his "Scenes of Childhood", opus 15, the seventh, i. e. the one right in the middle, being "Dreaming", the most famous among Schumann's compositions. It is a romantic gem the catchy melody of which will not get out of one's head. The beautiful setting contained in the present edition can be played even by non-pianists. Instrumentation : viola and piano op. 15/7
