Robert Schumann wrote his Fantasy Pieces for clarinet and piano in the course of two days in February 1849. Only a few days later they were premiered by Clara Schumann and the Dresden clarinetist Johann Gottlieb Kotte. Initially choosing the title Soirée Pieces for his works, Schumann finally decided to have them published as Fantasy Pieces, thereby emphasizing their poetical aspects. These conno…

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. On a peine à croire dans quel environnement ces «Soiréestücke» (c’est le titre initial) ont vu le jour: en 1849, Dresde est affectée par de graves troubles politiques, qui contraignent finalement Schumann et Clara à se réfugier à la campagne. Rien de tout cela ne transparaît dans la musique, le caractère idyllique de ces trois mouvements évoquant plutôt l’aspiration à l’harmon…

Arrangeur: Matt Johnston. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Robert Schumann (1810-1856), composed this Adagio and Allegro, Op. 70, for horn and piano in 1859.

Here, it has been arranged here for either Alto Clarinet (in E-flat) or…

Written in just two days in February 1849, Robert Schumann's Fantasy Pieces Op. 73 were first performed by his wife Clara and the clarinettist Johann Gottlieb Kotte. Initially entitled Soirée Pieces, the composer later had the works published under the name of Fantasy Pieces, thus establishing a connection with poetical aspects. The first edition published in July 1849 contained not only a clarine…

The circumstances in which these poetic ?Soirée Pieces? (thus their original title) came into being are quite surprising. In 1849 Dresden was seized by violent political turmoil that ultimately forced Schumann to fleewith Clara to the countryside. Yet none of this is apparent in the music of these three pieces whose idyllic character signifies a longing for harmony and seclusion. Originally conce…

These Fantasiestucke or Fantasy Pieces - a title denoting short and expressive pieces without a specified form - were originally written for clarinet and piano; Schumann himself later made arrangements of this work for cello and for violin. The piano and clarinet parts are notated in the score of this edition; however the solo alternative cello part is also included on a separate insert.
