Robert Schumann
Leff Pouishnoff
Leff Nicolas Pouishnoff (Russian: Лев Николаевич Пышнов, "Lev Nikolayevich Pyshnov") (11 October [O.S. 29 September] 1891 28 May 1959) was a Ukrainian-born pianist and composer, who made his home in the United Kingdom and whose career was largely in the West, from the 1920s onwards.
 He was especially associated with performances of the works of Frédéric Chopin, though he also played works by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Franz Liszt.
 His was among the earliest recordings of Schubert's Sonata in G major, D 894, made for English Columbia around 1928.
Robert Schumann
Robert Schumann (8 June 181029 July 1856) was a German composer and influential music critic.
 He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era.
 Schumann left the study of law, intending to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist.
 He had been assured by his teacher Friedrich Wieck that he could become the finest pianist in Europe, but a hand injury ended this dream.
 Schumann then focused his musical energies on composing.
Robert Schumann Hochschule
The Robert Schumann Hochschule (Robert Schumann University of Music and Media) is a college for music studies at the university level located in Düsseldorf, Germany. Robert Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze
Robert Schumann’s “Davidsbündlertänze” is one of the last major works made by New York City Ballet's founding choreographer and balletmaster-in-chief George Balanchine.
 It is set to Robert Schumann's "Davidsbündlertänze" ("Dances of the League of David"), Op. 6 (1837).
 The idea for setting this piano work very likely came from a work created by Robert Joffrey for his own Joffrey Ballet Company, the premier of which took place at the City Center Theater in the late 1970s.
 Joffrey, in turn, received his inspiration from Jonathan Watts, a protege of Joffrey's and director of the Joffrey apprentice company, who, at the suggestion of pianist Neil Stannard (yours truly), created a ballet titled "Evening Dialogues" to this same score.
 This initial version of the Schumann cycle was featured on tour with the Joffrey second company in the mid 1970a. Anthony Braxton / Robert Schumann String Quartet
Anthony Braxton / Robert Schumann String Quartet is an album by composer/saxophonist Anthony Braxton in concert with the Robert Schumann String Quartet recorded in 1979 by Westdeutscher Rundfunk and originally released on the Sound Aspects label in 1986. Variations on the name &quot;Abegg&quot;
The Variations on the name "Abegg" in F major is a piece (theme with variations) for piano by Robert Schumann, composed between 1829 and 1830 and published as his Opus 1.
 The name is believed to refer to Schumann's fictitious friend, Meta Abegg, whose surname Schumann used through a musical cryptogram as the motivic basis for the piece.
 The name Meta is considered to be an anagram of the word "tema" ("Latin").
 Another suggestion is Pauline von Abegg.
 Apparently, when he was twenty years old, Schumann met her and dedicated this work to her, as witnessed in Clara Schumann's edition of her husband's piano works. Master Raro
Master Raro was a notable character that appeared in many of Robert Schumann's character pieces for solo piano.
 Raro may represent the union of (Clara + Robert).
 He was the personality that balanced the two contrasting natures of Eusebius (passive, dreamy) and Florestan (aggressive, enthusiastic).
 Master Raro was also the primary arbiter of the many pseudonyms under which Robert Schumann took guise in his critical writings within "Neue Zeitschrift für Musik", the journal through which he evaluated the music world.
 Raro appears to bring logic and reason into a complex mixture of views of the Davidsbündler.
 He reflects Schumann's writing mastery and musical genius. Robert Schumann in Three Pieces
Robert Schumann in Three Pieces is the collective title given to three works, composed for the "Avenue A" ensemble by the British composer, Matthew King.
 Together, they constitute a musical portrait of the German Romantic composer, Robert Schumann.
 The first piece, entitled "Ash on the Ground" is a passacaglia in which various compositions by Schumann are quoted; the second piece, entitled "Love in a Life" has a soprano soloist, and is a miniature song cycle to texts by Robert Schumann himself, along with poems by Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
 It has been described, by one critic, as "rich and sumptuous, with some spine-tingling moments" the third piece, entitled "Night Phantoms and Rocking Horses" is a rapid musical survey of Schumann's piano music at a furious galloping tempo.
 The work ends with fragments of celeste and percussion sounding like a wound-down music box. Love Fugue: Robert Schumann
Love Fugue: Robert Schumann is an album by pianist Uri Caine featuring selections from Robert Schumann's song cycle "Dichterliebe" (Op. 48) and "Piano Quintet in E-flat major" (Op. 44) recorded in 2000 and released on the Winter & Winter label. Liederkreis, Op. 39 (Schumann)
Liederkreis , Op.
 39, is a song cycle composed by Robert Schumann.
 Its poetry is taken from Joseph Eichendorff's collection entitled "Intermezzo".
 Schumann wrote two cycles of this name – the other being his Opus 24, to texts by Heinrich Heine – so this work is also known as the Eichendorff Liederkreis.
 Of this cycle Schumann said, "The voice alone cannot reproduce everything or produce every effect; together with the expression of the whole the finer details of the poem should also be emphasized; and all is well so long as the vocal line is not sacrificed."
 "Liederkreis", Opus 39, is regarded as one of the great song cycles of the 19th century.
 Schumann wrote it starting in May 1840, the year in which he wrote such a large number of lieder that it is known as his "year of song" or "Liederjahr ".
