For narrator, oboe, violin, viola, cello & piano. With much enthusiasm, Schickele accepted a suggestion from the quintet An Die Musik to adapt the classic The Emperor's New Clothes as a performance piece for their Timeless Tales series. Each character inthe story is identified by a theme, and the mixture of characters leads to the corresponding mixture of themes - "everything from minimalist classical sounds to boogie-woogie piano."

20th Century. This chamber music work, composed in 1907/08, marks a turning point not only in Sch”nberg's output, but also for the history of modern music in general. Major-minor tonality, obligatory for centuries, is increasingly abandoned over the fourmovements in favor of a free atonality. This break with music-historical tradition goes hand-in-hand with a further breach of convention; in the last two movements, Sch”nberg includes a solo soprano singing settings of two poems by Stefan George. ...

Romantic. The quartet in A minor is one of the chamber music works with which Schubert wanted to "pave the way to the great symphony" in spring 1824. At the same time he was paving his way to a wider audience, as the "Rosamunde" quartet was the first andonly string quartet that was not only publicly performed in Schubert's lifetime but also published in parts. It is fortunate for us that this was the case because the autograph of this much-loved quartet is missing today and the only source for th...

Robert Schumann placed great importance on the genre of the "overture", as can be seen in the chronology of the genesis of his sole opera Genoveva. In his "Haushaltbuch" the composer entered as his first idea "thoughts of an overture", then produced the score even before having begun working on the actual opera. Schumann was right on the mark when he suspected that "the overture alone should enjoy a favorable reception". The Overture appeared in print at about the same time that the opera was pre...
Schumann had already worked on Byron's Manfred as a law student, and the topic fascinated him from that time on. Perhaps he discovered a spiritual affinity to himself in the romantic hero's inner conflict? In any event, he decided on a stage rendition ofthe drama with incidental music, an entirely new genre that he had been dreaming of for some time already. He conducted the overture - it dates from 1848 - for the first time as a separate piece in March 1852. In addition, he followed the preparat...
The Overture to Hermann and Dorothea is the only compositional result that Schumann reaped from Goethes epic poem. He had originally planned an entire opera, then a Singspiel, and finally an oratorio. In the end (1851), he quickly produced an orchestral score that remained unprinted during his lifetime. The striking thematic use of the Marseillaise is multiply motivated: Goethes poem unfolds in 1796, when the two eponymous lovers are fleeing from the French revolutionary troops; Schumann had dire...
That Schumann truly dug his heels into symphonic creation becomes clear at the latest when we look not only at his four well-known symphonies, but also at the works between the genres, such as the Overture, Scherzo and Finale. Unlike the traditional symphonic form, this work has no slow movement. Schumann spoke of it as a suite which hints at a loose connection of movements and as a sinfonietta. Ultimately, he decided to name it after the headings of the three movements which also share common tr...
The question "Why add music to such perfect poetry?" preoccupied Schumann long and intensively. His first compositional approach to Goethes "Faust" began in 1844, but it was not until 1851 that he finally completed the Scenes. At Liszts suggestion, Schumann added an overture in 1853, a symphonic "instrumental introduction" which atmospherically evokes the action of the Scenes but has no direct thematic reference to them. As an independent overture, the work has been played relatively rarely in co...
Schumann's close collaboration with the David quartet, together with the valuable advice of his friend Mendelssohn Bartholdy, led the composer to make extensive changes to the Streichquartette op. 41 before publication in December 1842. The present edition is hence to be thought of as a critical Urtext edition; it offers in fact to those interested, an invaluable glimpse into Schumann's creative process and his striving for the final form of his string quartets. All the deletions, changes, and th...
