Robert Schumann Symphonische Ëtuden, Opus 13. Fassagem 1837 und 1852 = Estudios sinfónicos opus 13. Versiones de 1837 y 1852.

Editor: Ernst Herttrich
Fingering: Hans-Martin Theopold

A secret engagement, a composer as prospective father-in-law and several rival publishing houses ? it was against this backdrop that the work was composed. His youthful and passionate love for Ernestine von Fricken was short-lived, but it occasioned Schumann in 1837 to write the ?intensely emotional variations? on a theme of her father?s, which were eventually to become the ?Orchestral etudes?. Fifteen years later a new edition was published, authorised by Schumann, containing such important changes that we have included both versions. In our revised issue the editor Ernst Herttrich has provided each version with its own preface and an extensive commentary.
