Schumann: Selected Piano Pieces from Opp. 15, 68, 82

Description

This collection of eleven pieces from all three work cycles is published as part of a series of popular works from the Bärenreiter catalogue for the 100th anniversary of the publishing house. The appendix contains further pieces from the compositional environment of the Album that were unpublished during Schumann's lifetime. in all three editions, Clara Schumann's original pedal markings are included for the first time. The fingerings by Ragna Schirmer take into account historical performance practice - Clara Schumann's fingerings served as an essential starting point - as well as playing on the modern concert grand piano.
