Schumann?s great C-major Fantasy op. 17 was originally intended to be published as a ?Sonata for Beethoven? entitled ?Ruins Trophies Palms. Grand Sonata.? Although he eventually abandoned this plan he maintainedthe Fantasy?s mighty design.Writing to his fiancée Clara Wieck in March 1838 he called the first movement ?perhaps the most impassioned music I have ever written.? Accordingly it marks a point of culmination in his Pianomusic forming an exemplary combination of passion delicacy and virtuosity a demanding highly romantic work for ambitious pianists!This volume presents a thorough revision of the musical text as well as an informativepreface and text-critical commentary.
