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 maintained the 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 piano music, forming an exemplary combination of passion, delicacy, and virtuosity – a demanding, highly romantic work for ambitious pianists! Our volume presents a thorough revision of the musical text as well as an informative preface and text-critical commentary.
舒曼偉大的C大調幻想曲,作品17號,最初計劃以「為貝多芬而作的奏鳴曲」為題出版,名為《廢墟、獎盃、棕櫚樹。大奏鳴曲》。儘管他最終放棄了這個計劃,但他保留了幻想曲宏大的構思。 1838年3月,他在寫給未婚妻克拉拉·維克的信中稱第一樂章「或許是我創作過的最激情澎湃的音樂」。因此,它標誌著舒曼鋼琴音樂創作的巔峰,完美融合了激情、細膩和精湛技藝——對於雄心勃勃的鋼琴家而言,這是一部極具挑戰性且充滿浪漫氣息的作品!本版本對樂譜進行了全面修訂,並附有內容豐富的序言和文本評註。
