Description:

A rare Schumann program by the great master Schnuerr, who is a great master in the tradition of German pianism. Beginning with the masterpiece "Carnival," which requires a wide variety of sounds and superb technique, the program continues with variations, improvisations, and exercises that are rarely recorded. In particular, "On a Theme of Beethoven" is a very interesting work that can be considered Schumann's praise of Beethoven, with motifs from Beethoven's Symphonies No. 7, No. 6, and No. 9. Friedrich Wilhelm Schnuerr (1929-2017) studied under Hans Richter-Hauser, Cortot, and Kemp, and was a master pianist in the lineage of German pianism. He is also known as a distinguished professor and made a great contribution to education, serving as president of the Detmold University of Music for 11 years from 1982. Meister Music
