Who can help me identify this Schumann piece?

Good evening,

I want to start by wishing all you pianostreet-maniacs a happy 2008 already!!


Ok, now for my question..

Who knows which piece this is? It's, as far as I know, a piece of Schumann played by Sofronitsky.

I have searched through both Schumann's cataloque and Sofronitsky's recorded Schumann discography for some time now but I just can't identify /find it for some reason. I think it's an awesome piece - check for example those harmonies starting at around 4:15! - and I really want to know just what it is.



Thanks in advance!

It's the third movement 'Quasi Variationi' (on a theme of Clara Wieck) from the 3rd piano sonata. Who's playing? Sounds decent....

Edit - ignore that question. My modest glass of New Year's Eve wine has clearly made my reading skills even worse than usual. Doh!

Thanks, that was fast.

I never thought about a Sonata movement. You know, some time ago someone send me a map which he said contained Kreisleriana played by Sofronitsky. But then when I opened it I saw there were 9 movements - the piece I have attached here was named as Kreisleriana movement 9. So I assumed that it was just an added single-movement piece that was named wrong.

It seems that I have to make myself more familiar with Schumann's piano sonatas, at this moment I have only listened to, and loved, the first one.

Haha, no problem at all. You helped me a great deal.

I hope you have a great new years eve!
