In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more

Original Sketches for Schumann Op. 11 sonata
on: November 09, 2023, 11:40:54 AM
Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a surviving original manuscript/sketches for the Schumann Op. 11 sonata? If so, does anyone know where I can find it, as I have had no luck so far?

Many thanks!

I take it you’re not a fan of one of the greatest post-Beethoven sonatas then? 😂

He does not like Schumann in general. And no, I cannot find the original MS. Why do you need it?

I want to see if there are some additional markings/scribbles that may not be in the final version - shame, Op. 11 ms doesn't seem to exist anywhere...
