Description
Robert Schumann: Piano Concerto is a comprehensive handbook that explores one of the most significant piano concertos in Western music history. The book combines music history, music theory, and music analysis to provide a detailed understanding of the concerto's genesis, evolution, and reception.
The handbook examines Schumann's earlier attempts to compose in the genre, the development of the piano concerto in his critical writing, and a detailed analysis of each movement. It also reconstructs the concerto's critical reception, performance history, and discography, before surveying piano concertos composed under its influence in the century after its completion.
By exploring the piano concerto's impact on the development of instrumental forms, this handbook offers a unique perspective on the work's significance and legacy. With its accessible analysis and detailed research, Robert Schumann: Piano Concerto is an essential resource for music historians, theorists, and analysts.
