专辑简介
After his marriage to Clara Wieck in 1840, Robert Schumann seemed to find that degree of security and encouragement that enabled him to tackle larger instrumental forms. Much of his music in the 1830s had been for the piano, often in those smaller forms of which he was such a master. While 1840 itself was a year of song, with many compositions in this form, the encouragement of his wife, by now established as a pianist, led, much to her delight, to Schumann's first symphony, followed by his Overture, Scherzo and Finale that he was to describe later as a symphonette. In the spring of the same year he completed a Fantasie in A minor for piano and orchestra, which Clara was able to play in rehearsal with the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig in August, shortly before the birth of the first of the Schumann children. The Fantasie found no favour with publishers, and it was not until 1845 that Schumann added an Intermezzo and a Finale to make of it a complete concerto, a work that Clara Schumann immediately took into her repertoire, playing it on New Year's Day 1846 in a Gewandhaus concert.
The concerto opens with a flourish from the pianist, followed by the principal theme, entering like a lamb, but to assume greater proportions as the work progresses. Clara Schumann perceptively remarked, of the first movement, that the piano part is skillfully interwoven with the orchestra, so that it is impossible to think of one without the other. The Allegro affettuoso is in traditional sonata form, but handled with considerable freedom, particularly in the central development. The Intermezzo must remind us of Schumann's mastery of those shorter forms which he had used to such effect in his earlier piano music, while the Finale, originally conceived as a separate Concerto Rondo, has all the excitement that we expect of a virtuoso concerto, and a clear thematic connection with the first movement.
