Publisher's Synopsis
(Guitar). The edition Schumann for Guitar is an interesting attempt to transfer Robert Schumann's romantic, lyrical music to the guitar. As a consequence, new tonal possibilities present themselves for the guitar repertoire, particularly in view of the fact that Schumann himself never composed an original piece for guitar. This volume naturally contains pieces from the famous piano cycles Album fur die Jugend, Kinderszenen and Albumblatter, but also some lieder like Mondnacht and Im wunderschonen Monat Mai. Special highlights of the volume are the original Schumann transcriptions by Francisco Tarrega (1852-1909) which prove that guitarists studied Schumann's music as early as the 19th century. Schumann for Guitar is ideal for concerts and music lessons, but also for private music-making. The pieces are of easy to intermediate technical difficulty so that even amateur guitar players will enjoy the pieces!
