Carnaval, Op. 9 & Kreisleriana, Op. 16

Album by Robert Schumann & David Deveau

Carnaval, Op. 9 and Kreisleriana, Op. 16 are piano cycles by German composer Robert Schumann, composed in 1834–1835 and 1838 respectively. Both works exemplify Romantic-era character-piece writing and advanced pianistic technique, featuring sharply contrasting moods, inventive harmonic language and rhythmic impetus, and they represent key pieces of Schumann's early compositional phase that influenced the development of 19th-century piano repertoire.
First released: 20th July 2018
