Schumann: Arrangements for Piano Duet, Vol. 5

In a time without recordings, the number of four-hand arrangements exceeded that of the original compositions by fourfold. Occasionally the arrangements were made by the composer himself. Robert Schumann, who liked to play four hands, created important works for this line-up. This is the fifth installment of the seven-album series, which contains all the orchestral works edited by Robert Schumann himself or under his call for piano for four hands. The present release contains the symphonies No. 1 op. 38 and No. 4 op. 120.
