Schumann. Variations & Fantasiestucke. Staier

Andreas Staier (piano)

Composed by: Schumann: Abegg-Variationen Op.1, Theme & Variations WoO 24 Geistervariationen, Fantasiestücke Opp.12 & 111

This third volume of Andreas Staier’s series devoted to the piano music of Robert Schumann begins with his first published composition, the Abegg Variations, and ends with his very last work, posthumously published Geistervariationen. The road he traveled between the two works was a long one, yet this program also brings out the consistency of the poetic urge that gives Schumann’s music its matchless powers of evocation.
