what are your three favorite Schumann suites?

on: July 17, 2005, 02:32:28 AM

pretty straight-forward. Just choose your three favorites. I left out the Sonatas and the Symphony without an Orchestra because they aren't really suites.

I'm afraid I don't have anything vastly original...Phantasiestuck op. 12 is definitely tops on my preferred listening list, followed by the extremely popular Carnaval and Romanzen op. 28

do you know why benches fall apart? it is because they have lids with little tiny hinges so you can store music inside them. hint: buy a bench that does not hinge. buy it for sturdiness.

Davdisbundlertanze: just perfect!
Kreisleriana: fascinating set...
Carnaval op 9: so fresh!

Humoreske is a very close fourth on my list.

One of my 3 choices was the "Album for the young".

I beleive i am a little influenced by the fact that i actually play some of this pieces (the easier ones), but all 43 are really superb.

Easier does not mean inferior !!!!

PD: my other 2 choices were Kinderszenen and Carnaval. I really like Schumann a lot

I'm glad to see that Carnaval beat out Kreisleriana and Davidsbundlertanze ^^ I know I'm in the minority here but I've never been a huge fan of Kreisleriana and Davidsbundlertanze.
