Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. In 1925, Breitkopf & Härtel approached the young pianist Wilhelm Kempff to prepare Clara Schumann’s “Instructive Edition” of her husband’s works for the new engraving. “[…] The comparison with the autograph and the Urtext edition [First Schumann Complete Edition], the results of the Schumann research, the modern principles of notation – all of this would have to be taken into account in the new engraving and could lead to a significant improvement in the edition without compromising the spirit of editing by Clara Schumann. ” The present edition thus conveys the reading of one of the most important pianists of the twentieth century, which we make fully accessible intime for the 200th birthday of Clara Schumann.

D'Après Le Manuscrit Autographe / Urtext Edition. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Les ' scènes de la forêt ' (Waldszenen, op.82) ont été composées à Dresde,du 29 décembre 1848 au 6 Janvier 1849. Si l'on excepte l'album pour la jeunesse op. 68, Schumann avait délaissé le piano presque complètement depuis le ' Carnaval de Vienne op 26 ' et les ' Romances op 28 ' composées en 1839. À cette époque, Schumann est déjà tout à fait conscient des troubles qui le gagnent et l'envahissent peu à peu. ' Créer tant qu'il fera jour ' tel est sa devise. / Niveau : Moyen / Classique (1760-1900) / Date parution : 2008-09-01/ Répertoire / Piano
