Schumann, Concerto For Cello In A Min (Breitkopf & Härtel)

A masterpiece of the Romantic concerto repertoire, Robert Schumann's Violoncello Concerto, Opus 129, is a breathtaking work showcasing the composer's incredible talent. This particular edition is designed for violin and piano and has been annotated by Schumann himself. Despite the concerto's undeniable brilliance, it initially received negative feedback, which is surprising given its beauty and complexity.

Written in 1850 during Schumann's Dusseldorf years, the work was unable to receive its premiere due to the unavailability of a suitable occasion and soloist. Even after it was published, it took many more years for the concerto to have its world premiere. However, at the end of the 19th century, Schumann's cello concerto finally found its rightful place in the cello repertoire.

This Urtext edition is based on the original print of the parts, with Schumann personally supervising the piano reduction. The autograph of the score was also consulted for comparison purposes, ensuring that this edition is as accurate and true to the composer's original intentions as possible. Whether you're a musician or simply a lover of classical music, this edition of Schumann's Violoncello Concerto is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of this incredible work.
