Plano, Roberto;
Del Negro, Paola

95675

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) was one of the most original piano composers of the 19th century. Trained as a pianist himself he created his own sound world in which he gave free reign to his often unbridled fantasy and imagination. His first 23 opus numbers are exclusively for piano solo. • Schumann’s works for piano 4 hands were written either in his early teens or in the last period of his life, in which he was troubled in his mind. They consist of dances (Polonaises, Ballszenen, Kinderball) or short pieces for children (resembling his Album für den Jugend, for piano solo, or the famous Kinderszenen). The Bildern aus Osten Op. 66 form the most substantial cycle for piano 4-hands, evoking the poetry and spirituality of the Orient. • Played with obvious dedication and love by Italian pianists Roberto Plano and Paola del Negro, savouring all the little original details of these charming and attractive works.
