“[…] The comparison with the autograph and the Urtext edition [First Schumann Complete Edition], the results of the Schumann research, the modern principles of notation – all of this would have to be taken into account in the new engraving and could lead to a significant improvement in the edition without compromising the spirit of editing by Clara Schumann.”

The present edition thus conveys the reading of one of the most important pianists of the twentieth century, which we make fully accessible in time for the 200th birthday of Clara Schumann.
