A journey to Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet

Sara Mohr-Pietsch journeys through musical destinations to Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet.

Schumann had composed almost no chamber music until 1842, when he then wrote 3 string quartets, a piano quartet, the Phantasiest眉cke for piano trio and the Piano Quintet, perhaps the most exuberant and extrovert of all these pieces. Sara Mohr-Pietsch journeys through a musical map that leads to a complete performance of Schumann's Piano Quintet, and examines the pieces and composers who influenced Schumann, and the way the piece itself went on to influence the music that followed it.
