Info for R. Schumann: Complete Works for Cello & Piano

Originally written for oboe (unique composition for this instrument), the "Drei Romanzen", Op. 94 were composed in late 1849 when Schumann seemed to be inspired by old legends.

Same character has the "Fünf Stücke im Volkston", Op. 102, of the same year. The pieces proved more challenging to Schumann as they took over two weeks to compose. “Folk style” is meant as "a way of telling an intensely imagined narrative."

The "Fantasiestücke", Op. 73, also composed in 1849, were indented for clarinet (and piano). The title promotes the fundamental romantic notion that creative expression is the product of the artist's unrestricted imagination. In addition, the connotations of "fantasy" justify the sudden mood changes.

In the same year, again, Schumann composed the Adagio and Allegro Op. 70, a chamber music piece indented for horn (and piano). Schumann planned alternative editions - before it was printed - in which the horn or cello or violin can be replaced.

Shortly after this work was completed, Clara Schumann commented that it was "just the sort of piece that I like, brilliant, fresh and passionate."

Despite the fact Schumann, in 1849, was suffering of manic episodes, these pieces were written in one of the most productive years of his entire career!

Kinderszenen ("Scenes from Childhood"), Op. 15, by Robert Schumann, is a (notable) set of thirteen pieces of music for piano written in 1838.

Schumann wrote 30 movements for this work but chose 13 for the final version. The unused movements were later published in Bunte Blätter, Op. 99, and Albumblätter, Op. 124. Movement No. 7 of the work, Träumerei (Dreaming), is one of Schumann's best known pieces.

Marianna Sinagra, cello and Lorenzo Cossi, piano, form a well known duo in Italy, the Duo Sinossi. Both members were winners of several international competition. This is their third official recording (all were made by label OnClassical).
