Kreisleriana, Op. 16
by Robert Schumann
PianoRomanticSuite~30 minprofessional
Eight fantasies inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann's fictional Kapellmeister Kreisler, dedicated to Chopin. Schumann pours his dual nature into the work, alternating between turbulent passion and intimate tenderness. Horowitz called it Schumann's greatest piano work. The rapid mood shifts between pieces capture the Romantic spirit like nothing else.
