Based on Robert Schumann. Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke, Band II/3. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. The Fairy-Tale Narratives (Märchenerzählungen) for B-flat Clarinet (ad libitum Violin), Viola and Piano, Op. 132, belong to the few Schumann works that were composed, revised and published in a short time: composed in Düsseldorf, at beginning of October 1853, the new composition was already offered for publication to the Breitkopf & Härtel publishing house on 3 November and printed in February 1854. Composition and publication of the Märchenerzählungen were accompanied, though, by difficult times, the final days before the composer was admitted to the psychiatric clinic in Endenich. The work’s reception lies in the shadow of the last creative period: The pieces were associated with his life’s darker phases and were very little played. The Märchenerzählungen transmit Schumann’s single work for this unusual piano trio with viola and clarinet. The only well-known earlier example in this setting at that time is Mozart’s “Kegelstatt” Trio K 498 (composed in 1786). Schumann was certainly already acquainted with the work from his Leipzig years – it was played in one of the “quartet sessions” in 1829. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Clarinette, Alto et Piano

When Maria Anna Mozart, known as Nannerl, was to receive piano lessons, her father gave her a music book in which he and others gradually wrote down little recital pieces. Her brother Wolfgang Amadeus soon acquired the book from his older sister. From an early age he displayed a particular talent for composing whereupon his father also wrote down his son?s first works in this music book. The ?Nannerl Music Book? thus contains 17 pieces written by Mozart when he was between the ages of five and eight, all of which are easy to play ? ideal pieces for beginners. Our edition is taken from the complete volume of Mozart?s Piano Pieces, HN 22, and contains a new preface by the editor Ullrich Scheideler especially written for beginners.
