SCHUMANN ADAGIO AND ALLEGRO OP 70

Edition for Violoncello and Piano With Marked and Unmarked String

Publisher: Henle
Format: Softcover
Composer: Robert Schumann
Editor: Ernst Herttrich

In 1849, Schumann turned to a new genre: works for piano and an accompanying instrument. The first works he composed were the Fantasy Pieces for piano and clarinet opus 73, immediately followed by opus 70. Schumann drew his publisher's attention to the brilliant allegro, whose solo part is so virtuosic that opus 70 is one of the showpieces for horn players even today. Schumann also wrote a part for violoncello.

I imagine that most cellists are clamoring to buy the recently released Henle edition of Schumann's Adagio and Allegro. It's a welcome and needed addition to the publications available of this two-part composition that captures both the lyricism and fiery drama of Schumann's writing...this new Schumann edition is an important choice for any cellist's music library. -Strings magazine
