Fantasy in C, op. 17 / Faschingsschwank aus Wien, op. 26 / Papillons
Album by Robert Schumann & Sviatoslav Richter
This compilation album collects solo piano works by Robert Schumann composed in the 1830s. The pieces exemplify Romantic piano writing through contrasting lyrical and virtuosic passages, episodic structures, dance-like rhythms and abrupt shifts of mood, reflecting Schumann's exploration of programme-like narrative and his development as a composer of character pieces within the 19th-century piano repertoire.
First released: 31st January 2007
