Description
Robert Schumann (8 June 1810 – 29 July 1856) was a German composer and influential music critic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. Schumann left the study of law to return to music, intending to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist. He had been assured by his teacher Friedrich Wieck that he could become the finest pianist in Europe, but a hand injury ended this dream. Schumann then focused his musical energies on composing.
We present to you one of Schumann’s more emotive and challenging pieces Grand Sonata No. 3 in F minor. Suitable for Grades 5 and up, it is a piece no pianist should be without.
