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 Phantasiestücke 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.

To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say: 'Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Music Map.'
