Schumann - Character Pieces I

Facts Volume 3 in the Schumann solo piano series focuses on the output of "Character Pieces" - a genre Schumann engaged in mostly during the early 1830s. Also included are several pieces that only existed in manuscript form and have never before been released. The entire series production and booklet notes are the work of the highly respected Schumann scholar Joachim Draheim, who has provided not only invaluable biographical and historical background but has had access to many previously unpublished manuscripts and Schumann's own corrections and revisions to the printed scores.
