Schumann - Fantasiestücke

Written by 

Robert Schumann – Fantasiestücke (Fantasy Pieces) Opus 12

This set of eight pieces was composed in 1837, and was dedicated to the Scottish pianist Anna Robena Laidlaw, who Schumann watched perform in Liepzig.

The set consists of very contrasting pieces, representing the duality of Schumann’s alter egos: Florestan, the passionate one, and Eusebius, the dreamer.

1. "Des Abends" ("In the Evening")

2. "Aufschwung" ("Soaring", literally "Upswing")

3. "Warum?" ("Why?")

4. "Grillen" ("Whims")

5. "In der Nacht" ("In the Night")

6. "Fabel" ("Fable")

7. "Traumes Wirren" ("Dream's Confusions")

8. "Ende vom Lied" ("End of the Song")

A Note from the Founders & Directors

Welcome to Community Music Centers of Atlanta

CMC Atlanta is a music education company founded in 2007 as the L5P Music Center. In the nearly 20 years since our founding, we've grown from offering music lessons at a single site to a network of local community music schools (Decatur, Dunwoody, Inman Park, Little 5 Points and Brookhaven) that offers an array of innovative, but historically-informed music education programs to students of all ages and skill levels. Working in collaboration with Capstone Academy, an accredited private school, we also created a high school conservatory program, Atlanta Music High School, which opened in August 2017.
