SCHUMANN, R.: Arrangements for Piano Duet, Vol. 6 - Overture, Scherzo and Finale / Piano Concerto / The Bride of Messina: Overture (Eckerle Piano Duo)

In the days before sound recording, orchestral music was often arranged in versions for piano duet as a way for the public to hear, play and enjoy music by the great composers of the day. As a result, the number of arrangements made available soon exceeded that of original piano duet compositions. Robert Schumann, who loved to play duets together with his wife Clara, often supervised and occasionally created many of his own arrangements in the form. This is the penultimate album in this seven-volume series containing all of Schumann’s orchestral works arranged for piano duet.
