Schumann i Brahms: Piano Quartets by Schumann, Clara, Schumann, Brahms, Ó (2022/2022)

In 1853, Johannes Brahms showed up at the home of Clara and Robert Schumann to show them some of his early compositions. From then on, all three maintained an intense relationship, both personally and artistically, which is fundamental to understanding German musical Romanticism. That same year, Clara Schumann composed the Three Romances for violin and piano, op. 22 ,which he dedicated to the Austro-Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim. Clara had a special predilection for the romance genre, which allowed her to unfold melodies with a strong sentimental character. In the first romance, he incorporates some elements specific to gypsy music, just as Brahms also does in the last movement of the Piano Quartet in G G, op. 25. This quartet and the Piano Quartet in Eb, op. 47 by Robert Schumann are structured in four movements and combine melodies of great lyricism and rhythmically energetic passages.
