Schumann: Miscellaneous Works

From the Piano Society website:

Schumann's Waldszenen (Forest Scenes), Op. 82 (1848-49) consists of nine short pieces similar in style and spirit to the composer's Kinderszenen (1838). "Eintritt" (Entrance) features unusual, asymmetrical phrasing.. ... The Waldszenen may rightly be regarded as Schumann's last really fine keyboard work. The decline in the composer's mental and emotional capacities in ensuing years led him to redirect his energies largely toward the compilation and revision of earlier works rather than the production of new music.

Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) was a great German Romantic composer whose legacy includes acclaimed works in practically all the musical forms of his time. Schumann's compositions are extraordinarily inventive, and they reveal a poetic musician unbound by the forms of the Classical period.
