Arabeske - A Score for Solo Piano Op.18 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781447474067)

Featuring large, clear note heads and wide margins, this edition is perfect for studying and following the music. Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) was a seminal German composer and esteemed music critic. When his piano teacher assured him that the could be the most accomplished piano virtuoso in Europe, he dedicated his energies to this end. However, a severe injury to his hand meant that his dream could never be realised. Instead, Schumann focused on composing. He chiefly wrote compositions for the piano until 1840, at which time he began branching out, composing for orchestra and writing symphonies, operas, and other choral and chamber pieces. Some of his most famous compositions include: "Kinderszenen", "Album f r die Jugend", "Blumenst ck", and the "Sonatas" and "Albumbl tter". Today, Schumann is generally considered to have been one of the most important composers during the Romantic era. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library of the most well-known and universally-enjoyed works of classical music ever composed, reproduced from authoritative editions for the enjoyment of musicians and music students the world over.
