I plyed this almost a year ago in a concert tha featured frauenliebe und leben, and the mignon lieder op.98. i didn't realize someone recordd it but they gave it to my recently.
the recording quality is QuItE pOoR but anyhoo!
i mess up bad in the 3rd var. but that's about it. i think it is becos i didn't practice it slowly...
Enjoy!

I've played this work myself recently. You do a very poetic job and never get to carried away with virtuosity which I think is the key when playing Schumann (poetry and not getting carred away).
Good job :D

Hi andhow,
Bravo! I listened to both sets, and what a pleasure it was. This is truly wonderful playing, contrasting the fiery and poetic moods of Florestan and Eusebius. This music is very often difficult and requires a formidable technique which you readily provide within your artistry. And so much music to memorize too! This is a huge accomplishment. Awesome, andhow, really awesome! :)
For a recital program, would you ever consider drawing certain contrasting numbers from this work and presenting them as a group, or do believe that DavidsB can only be played as a unified work? In the past there have been varying thoughts on that.
This is a long work, but I hope more members here will take the time to listen to it all.

tahnx for the nice comments! on second listen I don't like this as much, i make too many mistakse and the playing is not as strong as i would like. Davidsbundler is one of the harder ones , i think because it is more awkward than piecesl ike carnaval or kreisleriana. for instance that sixth movement with the presto-tarantella right hand is just a killer if it's not perfect, and a lot of the octave passages are kind of crazy. the accelerando right up to before the last waltz is very very very difficultt o pull off because the hands are arpeggiating huge spaces and leaping aceross the keyboard.
i never thought about excerpting it, except for the fact that the slow, ebautiful movemnt in e-flat from boko II which i play often for ppl, but notn ecesarily on a concert by itself. because it ends with music from the beginning, i think its expected to play all of it!
thankx again
