(1810-56)
Schumann frequently reworked his pieces, even after they had already been published. Sometimes he was dissatisfied with his first thoughts and decided to rewrite, and sometimes friends - especially his wife, Clara - made suggestions.
When Schumann was unhappy with his original idea, it was often for a good reason, and his second version can be a distinct improvement. This week, Christopher Marshall introduces some of Schumann's first thoughts. The programme includes pianist Charles Rosen 's performances of the Impromptus on a Theme of Clara Wieck , Op 5 (First Edition) and Dichtungen fur das
Pianoforte (Poems for Piano), the original version of the Fantasy in C, Op 17, but with a different ending. Producer Christopher Marshall
