At Last: The Urtext edition of Schumann's op. 46 Anh. based on the autograph
Andante and Variations op. 46 Anh. for 2 pianos, 2 celli and horn: even in Schumann's collected works, one finds such an unusual scoring only once. No wonder the piece was initially left unprinted and only first released as a posthumous work. Schumann's widow Clara and Johannes Brahms apparently fervently believed in the piece and organized a posthumous world premiere with fellow Schumann admirers. Seeing that the "posthumous first edition" diverges often quite strongly from the autograph, it presents a particularly ideal situation for the new Urtext edition.
