Schumann's early piano quartet composed in 1829 has not yet found its way into the concert repertoire, although it would be well-earned. This is due to the fact that the work has only been available in a version full of mistakes up to now. Our new edition by the renowned Schumann researcher Joachim Draheim is based not only on the autograph but also on Schumann's sketches, thus providing a convincing musical text for the first time. Missing pages of the autograph (end of the first movement, left-hand piano part in the minuet, etc.) have been completed for the first time with the help of parallel passages in a stylistically sensitive and accurate manner. A valuable addition to the repertoire on the occasion of the Schumann Year 2010.
