BRAHMS & SCHUMANN: TRANSCRIPTIONS FOR VIOLA & PIANO - ETTORE CAUSA, BORIS BERMAN
Schumann in fact had a history of proceeding with bureaucratic thoroughness through different genres. Since marrying in 1840, he had abandoned his bachelor penchant for wild, semi-formless, quasi-fragmentary piano works. He spent his first year of marriage composing songs, and this was followed by a “symphonic year” (1841), a “string quartet year” (1842) and an “oratorio year” (1843), as if he were ticking off a “to-do” list as befitting a serious German composer in the post-Beethovenian mould. After an interruption of two years on grounds of dodgy mental health he turned to dramatic works (including his only opera, Genoveva) and then, in early 1849, to the instrumental duos with piano that prompted Clara’s enthusiastic diary entry quoted above.
Schumann’s duos for wind instruments and piano were highly innovative at the time. While contemporary lists of music publications (“Hofmeisters Monatsberichte”) confirm that thousands of editions were being churned out by publishers large and small in mid-19th-century Central Europe, these included hardly any independent works for the wind-and-piano duo combinations that were now the focus of Schumann’s attention. Apart from Beethoven’s early Horn Sonata and Weber’s Grand Duo for clarinet, no Classical or Romantic composers of consequence had written any piano duos with those instruments until Schumann, and the solo oboe repertoire was virtually non-existent. Schumann seems to have acted as a trendsetter – for after publishing his Fantasy Pieces op. 73 for clarinet and piano, Luckhardt of Kassel brought out two further sets of “fantasy pieces” for the same instruments over the next two years (by Carl Reinecke and Johann Carl Eschmann).
