Kreisleriana / Symphonische Etüden

Album by Robert Schumann & Burkard Schliessmann

Kreisleriana / Symphonische Etüden is a collection of solo piano works by Robert Schumann, composed in 1838 and 1834 respectively. Stylistically rooted in early Romanticism, the works juxtapose rhapsodic, expressive character pieces with technically demanding etude-like passages that explore contrasting moods and pianistic textures, reflecting Schumann's deepening interest in literary inspiration and virtuoso form in his early career.
First released: 31st March 2000
