Listen "Cello Journey #24, Schumann Fantasiestucke No.1"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we play the first of three Fantasiestucke (Fantasy
Pieces) by Robert Schumann. This piece was originally written for
clarinet and piano but I think it sounds good on the cello. Schumann
often wrote sets of miniatures that each have their own mood. In this
one there is some tension between triplets (three notes per beat) in
the piano and duplets (two notes per beat) in melodies in both the
cello and piano. This adds unrest to this emotional and romantic piece.
