Originally for horn and orchestra.
In 1849, Schumann turned to a new genre: works for piano and an accompanying instrument. The first works he composed were the Fantasy Pieces for piano and clarinet opus 73, immediately followed by opus 70. Schumann drew his publisher's attention to the brilliant allegro, whose solo part is so virtuosic that opus 70 is one of the showpieces for horn players even today.
Adagio and Allegro is one of the first works of major importance written for the valve horn. The original title was Romance and Allegro and it was composed during the first few months of 1849, a period when Schumann also composed solo works for oboe and piano, clarinet and piano, as well as the Konzertstucke for four horns and orchestra.

Schumann also wrote a part for violoncello. I imagine that most cellists are clamoring to buy the recently released Henle edition of Schumann's Adagio and Allegro. It's a welcome and needed addition to the publications available of this two-part composition that captures both the lyricism and fiery drama of Schumann's writing...this new Schumann edition is an important choice for any cellist's music library.--Strings magazine
In 1849, Schumann turned to a new genre: works for piano and an accompanying instrument.

Schumann also created a part for violin.
Even if Schumann falls back on the hymnbook when choosing the text of his 'Adventlied' (Advent Song), the composition was probably politically motivated and, still under the impressions of the revolutionary years of 1848/49, owed to the longing for peace. The 'Adventlied' (Advent Song), like the 'Neujahrslied' (New Year's Song), is 'a strange mixed genre between sociable, covertly political and religious chant'.
Contains 32 very simplified version of longer works. Contents: Selections from Scenes from Childhood, Forest Scenes, Carnaval, Album for the Young.
Combines Schumann's classic piano works in one convenient, value-priced edition. A great resource for both the piano student and teacher.

Initially only conceived as a birthday album for his daughter Marie, Schumann's Pieces for Piano op. 68 received tremendous acclaim throughout the world. Is there a piano student who has not played part of them? It is, however, a less well-known fact that Schumann also composed a music historical course of instruction for the piano in this connection. We have included this and other pieces originally intended for the Album in the appendix to our painstakingly revised edition. Rounded off by the inclusion of Ludwig Richter's illustration for the title page of the first edition and the trilingual print of the Advice to Young Musicians, our Urtext edition offers a vivid picture of middle-class musical culture in Schumann's times.
Edited, fingered and translated with commentary for each piece by Gary Busch.

The high opus number suggests that it is a late work, yet in reality the work comprises twenty single movements which were composed 10 to 15 years before publication. This means that they were written around the time of Schumann's early masterpieces such as Carnaval op. 8 or the Romances op. 28 in the 1830s; but they remained unpublished. Following the tremendous success of the Album for the Youth op. 68 in 1848, Schumann's piano music was once again in high demand. The composer therefore published a second selection of works, enabling him to supplement his earnings. Thanks to this, we have a charming collection of easy-to-play pieces, of which the Little Lullaby (no. 6) has become the most famous.
Op.15, Op.68, Op.118a, Op.82, Op.124/16, Op.124/6, Op.2, Op.18, Op.19, Op.124/4, Op.28/2.

Everywhere only confused combinations of figures, dissonances, passages - in short, for us torture. - Schumann certainly did not deserve this contemporary slating. He only published the opening movement Allegro di bravura of what was originally meant to be a sonata - the other parts were apparently destroyed. Clara, who was otherwise rather reserved as far as Schumann's early works were concerned, soon incorporated this piece into her repertoire. Ernestine von Fricken, the dedicatee and with whom Schumann was still engaged at its time of composition, often played it after their separateion, even if with quite curious expression. Our edition is the result of a thorough revision to incorporate the latest scholarly findings.
