The set of fantasy pieces, Faschingsschwank aus Wien (Carnival Scenes from Vienna) is a challenge for advanced pianists well worth the effort. This brilliant cycle, begun in 1839, would not be performed publicly until after Schumann's death and then by Clara Schumann, herself. Now a fixture in the pianist's repertoire, Faschingsschwank aus Wien is here presented in an edition based on the Urtext of the New Schumann Complete Edition, in clean, clear print laid out in performance-friendly form. Beiche provides extensive background information about the composition, while Koch has written important Notes on Interpretation for performers.

The six piano works 'Sonata No. 2' Op. 22, 'Nachtstucke' Op. 23, 'Faschingsschwank aus Wien' Op. 26, 'Drei Romanzen' Op. 28, 'Scherzo, Gigue, Romanze and Fughette' Op. 32 as well as '43 Clavierstucke fur die Jugend' Op. 68 (the so-called 'Album for the Youth') were created between 1830 and 1848. They document the transition in Schumann's compositional work from the early time focussed completely on piano compositions to the following period which was dominated by other genres such as lied, chamber music or orchestral works and in which works for piano solo rather played a minor role.

On the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth, an ambitious project is coming to a close: For the first time since Clara Schumann's Complete Edition of 1879–93, all of the works for piano solo are appearing as one editorial project. Spanning almost ten years of painstaking work, all of the Schumann titles published by G. Henle Publishers have undergone a careful revision. The Schumann expert Ernst Herttrich has closely examined each edition and also dedicated himself to those works that were previously missing from our catalogue. Arranged clearly according to opus numbers, it includes not only all of Schumann's piano works, revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings, but also informative accompanying texts, alternative versions and much more besides. Contents: Faschingsschwank aus Wien op. 26; 3 Romanzen op. 28; Scherzo, Gigue, Romanze und Fughette op. 32; Album für die Jugend op. 68 ; Vier Fugen op. 72; Vier Märsche op. 76; Waldszenen op. 82.
