Humoresques

Album by Robert Schumann & Antonín Dvořák & Max Reger & Edvard Grieg & Sofja Gülbadamova

Humoreske in B-flat major, Op. 20 is a piano composition by Robert Schumann, composed and published in 1839. The work exemplifies Romantic piano music through a succession of contrasting episodic sections that juxtapose lyrical passages, agitated outbursts and intricate pianistic textures with chromatic harmonic language, and it sits among Schumann's late-1830s piano output as an exploration of mood contrast and expanded piano technique.
