Product description
In 1845, Robert Schumann embarked on an intense course of contrapuntal studies. This led him to rent a pedalboard attachment for his piano, inspiring him to write pieces specifically for pedal piano, including these etudes. The great French composer Georges Bizet arranged the Six Etudes in Canon Form, Op. 56 for one piano, four hands. These etudes are not simply technical finger exercises like Hanon or Czerny, but true works of art like the Chopin etudes. They make wonderful music while working the muscles of the hands and fingers.
Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) was a German composer and music critic. He is one of the most prominent representatives of Romanticism. He composed mainly piano music, but his work is very extensive. He has composed at least 183 songs, 4 symphonies, many instrumental concerts, a number of song cycles, cantatas, oratorios, choirs and a number of excellent chamber works.
