Clara Schumann: Piano Music

Among the leading pianists of the 19th century, Clara Schumann was a respected published composer in her lifetime, regarded by her contemporaries as a member of the avant-garde "new romantic" school. Praised by such greats as Chopin, Brahms, Mendelssohn, and Liszt, her music is being heard again today in recitals and new recordings. This rare collection, reproduced mainly from the classic Breitkopf and Hartel edition of 1879 is introduced by Dr.Nancy B. Reich.
