Robert Schumann (1810-1856) Bicentenary Celebrations
Are you a chamber ensemble looking for new, exciting repertoire to mark the Schumann bicentenary?
Then why not consider Michael Blake's Quintet for Piano and Strings (Homage to Schumann) composed in 2006 for the composer to play with the Fitzwilliam String Quartet. It was premiered in April 2006 in Cambridge.
The work has been transcribed as Sonata for Two Pianos (Homage to Schumann), premiered in Cape Town in 2007.
The piece is in three movements and lasts about 20 minutes.
Scores available from Bardic Edition, UK and recorded excerpts here.
