Скачать или смотреть Schumann Davidsbundlertanze Op 6 Book 1

Schumann published this long and difficult work in two books of nine pieces each. This recording contains the first nine, and a companion recording contains the last nine. The Davidsbundler are fictitious characters Schumann used as mouthpieces in his role as a music critic. The most important of these characters are Florestan and Eusebius. They represent the two opposite sides of Schumann's personality, Florestan being extroverted and Eusebius being more introverted. Each piece is correspondingly marked F or E (or F and E). The timings follow (with Schumann's German indications):

1. Lebhaft (F and E) - 0:00
2. Innig (E) - 1:46
3. Mit Humor (F) - 3:05
4. Ungeduldig (F) - 4:37
5. Einfach (E) - 5:36
6. Sehr rasch (F) - 7:21
7. Nicht schnell (E) - 9:45
8. Frisch (F) - 13:45
9. Lebhaft (F) - 14:57
