The Henle catalogue contains almost all of Schumann's works for piano in top quality editions. With the publication of Op. 32 we are filling an important gap. In or-der to help his Neue Zeitschrift für Musik to become more successful, Schumann gave it a practical use: he enclosed the music for short works. The Bach-like Gigue and Fughetta also appeared here. The Scherzo and Romance are on the other hand Romantic forms. It was only later that he put the pieces in their current sequence. The renowned Schumann pianist Leif Ove Andsnes kindly allowed us to use his fingerings in our edition. It is a compelling alternative to the frequently used albums in teaching and a real discovery for pianists who want to play Schumann's magnificent music.
