SCHUMANN
Carnaval, Op. 9
Vienna Carnival, Op. 26
Phantansiestucke, Op. 111
Carnaval, completed in 1835, is one of Schumann's
most popular works for piano. The "Carnaval" is a
masked ball, at which the characters from the
commedia dell'arte - Harlequin and Columbine -
dance alongside Schumann's friends - Chiarina
and Estrella - and more famous names such as
Chopin and Paganini. Like so many of Schumann's
works its inspiration has a literary source, in this
case his favourite writer Jean Paul.
