Description:
Long misunderstood between Beethoven and Brahms
Schumann's last concertante orchestral work was first performed only in 1937 and at the same time published in an editorially inadequate edition. It was not until the 1980s that a reassessment of Schumann's late works began, as a result of which 'the missing link between the concertos of Beethoven and Brahms' (Yehudi Menuhin) also came back into greater focus. Since then it has been regarded as an insider's tip with special musical and technical challenges for performers and listeners.
With this new edition of perhaps the most misunderstood masterpiece of the Romantic period, a careful original text of the score is available for the first time. Even more, and scarcely believable, the composer's piano reduction, from which Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim performed, is published for the first time. Thomas Zehetmair, who as a performer has contributed significantly to the re-evaluation of the concerto, took over the technical arrangement of the solo part.
