Schumann 1849: Schumann Literature Transcribed and Recorded on the Trombone

The purpose of this dissertation project was to transcribe and record selected works of Robert Schumann on the trombone. Nearing the end of his life and suffering from years of debilitating mental illness, Robert Schumann had an unusually prolific year of composition in 1849. It was during this fruitful period that he wrote Fantasiestücke op. 73, Drei Romanzen op. 94, Adagio und Allegro, op. 70 and Fünf Stücke im Volkston op. 102. For each of these works, Schumann had indicated on the score additional instruments on which the pieces could be played. This CD features the aforementioned works performed on the tenor and alto trombone. This recording features Aaron Zalkind on the trombone and Keith Teepen on piano. Recorded and engineered by Kevin Harbison. </div
