Schumann-Wieck Kadenzen zu Klavierkonzerten

Beethoven :
Konzert No 3 c-moll op 37
Konzert No 4 G-Dur op 58
Mozart :
Konzert No 20 d-moll KV 466

Clara Schumann’s cadenzas to piano concertos by Beethoven ( Op 37 and 58 ) and Mozart ( KV 466 ) not only give a unique insight into her performing and composing style; they also throw light on her relationship with Johannes Brahms, whose cadenzas have considerable similarities to those of Schumann. This Urtext edition of the cadenzas includes a preface in which the renowned Canadian pianist Ludwig Sémerjian explores the interaction between Schumann and Brahms. The edition also marks the first publication of Clara Schumann’s early cadenzas for Mozart’s D minor Piano Concerto, previously only available in the manuscript in the Library of Congress in Washington DC.
