WGBH Music: Jonathan Biss plays Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op. 12 (No. 2 Aufschwung)

Live in the Fraser Performance Studio at WGBH, world renowned pianist Jonathan Biss plays Robert Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op. 12 (2 Aufschwung, F minor). Biss was born into a family of musicians. His paternal grandmother was one of the first well-known female cellists, the Russian cellist Raya Garbousova, for whom Samuel Barber wrote his cello concerto. His parents, Miriam Fried and Paul Biss, are both violinists. After studying at Indiana University, where both of his parents teach, Biss entered the Curtis Institute of Music at the age of 17 to study with Leon Fleisher.
