Clara Schumann (1819-1896) wrote this work in 1853, creating seven variations on her husband's theme from his Bunte Blätter, Op. 99, No. 4 (Albumblätter) for piano. She presented the piece to Robert Schumann on his 43rd birthday in 1853, the year before his crippling mental breakdown, making this the final birthday that he would spend with his family. It is also among the last works that Clara Schumann composed for the piano. Johannes Brahms was inspired by Clara to compose his own Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 9, which he then dedicated to her.

This most frequently played orchestral work by Aribert Reimann quotes from and makes use of Robert Schumann's last finished composition, the so-called 'Geistervariationen' [Ghost Variations] in E flat major for piano from 1854, composed shortly before Schumann's suicide attempt. Reflecting on Schumann's subsequent life in Endenich, Reimann leaves the lyrical character of the original unchanged. But the breaking up of the theme into the third, fifth and seventh fragments symbolizes the transition from dreamy imagination to sickly brooding.

The creative genius of Pierre La Plante has never been better showcased than with Variations On A Merry Tune. Based on a theme from Robert Schumann, known variously as The Jolly Farmer and The Happy Farmer’s Return From Work, this delightful work will bring smiles to all! Pierre takes this cheery tune all throughout the ensemble, creating opportunities for every section to shine. A charming selection for concert band, and a wonderful audience pleaser as well. Our highest recommendation!

Il concetto della collana Anglo Music Play-Along Series è quello di integrare al più presto nel processo di apprendimento dei giovani strumentisti la possibilit di poter suonare accompagnati al piano o con l�??ausilio di un�??incisione su CD. Ilchiaro vantaggio di questo metodo è che gli allievi imparano da subito l�??aspetto fondamentale del suonare insieme, vale a dire tenere il tempo in modo costante. 15 Easy Classical Solos consente agli allievi che hanno una conoscenza limitatadelle note di suonare brani di Bach, Schubert, Purcell, Grieg e altri, grazie alle versioni facilitate. Il livello di 15 Intermediate Classical Solos permette invece agli allievi che padroneggiano l�??estensione superiore a un�??ottava dicimentarsi nei �??primi concerti�?� con brani di Haendel, Clementi, Rameau, Glueck, Beethoven e altri. Il CD propone una traccia con l�??incisione completa e una con il solo accompagnamento.
