Which works by Schumann can you recommend (Piano)?
I really want to find another composer which I adore. I’ve been playing the Chopin Nocturnes for a while and they’re beautiful, mournful sometimes. I like that aspect of classical music.
Alot of people have been talking about Schumann and I really want to know more about him and his works for the piano, anyone willing to answer?
Thanks
Ah, don’t you know Schumann is my favorite!
Perhaps start with his piano concerto. Opus 54.
Schumann was the best at writing pieces that are a collection of shorter musical ideas, rather than experimenting with long drawn out musical forms such as sonata form. Even the first movement of his piano concerto is not quite a perfect sonata, but closer to a theme and variations structure.
After listening to his piano concerto, I’d suggest you listen to the Carnaval. It is a collection of 21 (if memory serves me right) little pieces each about a minute or two long. Some movements are very beautiful and others whimsical but all wonderful.
After that I’d listen to his symphonic etudes, a collection of theme and variations and etudes. It represents one of Schumann’s most tragic musical compositions. The variations and theme tend to provoke such beautiful sorrow and it all ends with an utterly triumphant finale.
His second piano sonata would serve you well after that. It is a rather popular work by him. Very beautiful.
You should be getting a good idea of Schumann’s pianistic style by now, but what you must listen to is his Fantasiestuke, opus 12, a collection of 8 pieces.
For one of the most musically and technically demanding compositions of all time, listen too his Kreisleriana, opus 16. A seriously amazing piece.
His fantasie in C major, opus 17 is also amazing….
Good luck.
