Summary of This Score
"Faschingsschwank aus Wien" (Op. 26) is one of Robert Schumann's most popular and studied piano cycles. Originally conceived as a kind of "grand Romantic sonata," the work unfolds a series of scenes inspired by the effervescence of the Viennese carnival, alternating brilliance, humor, poetry, and dramatic tension.
This score offers the complete cycle in five movements (Allegro, Romanze, Scherzino, Intermezzo, Finale). The pianist finds an ideal terrain to work on both brilliance and rhythmic drive as well as the flexibility of the melody, sound layers, and character changes typically Schumannesque.
Thanks to its Urtext approach based on the New Schumann Complete Edition, this edition reflects the current state of research on Schumann. Tobias Koch's interpretative notes provide concrete insights into articulation, touch, and sonority, taking into account the peculiarities of period instruments and various sources from Schumann's circle. A relevant choice for in-depth study, audition preparation, or long-term musical work.
