Summary of this score
With Phantasiestücke op. 88 for piano trio, Robert Schumann offers a cycle of four character pieces that combine poetry, conciseness, and balance among the partners. Written in 1842, at the heart of his intense chamber music period, the work nevertheless followed a long editorial path: Schumann revised it several times before its definitive publication in autumn 1850. This score is appealing due to its clear format and writing that remains musically expressive without imposing overwhelming virtuosity, making it an excellent choice to develop listening, shared breathing, and ensemble coordination. Offered here in a separate edition by Henle (extracted from the volume "Schumann. Piano Trios HN 916"), it benefits from the editorial work of Ernst Herttrich and the fingerings of Klaus Schilde, for comfortable use in rehearsal as well as in concert.
