Portrait of Robert Schumann

A major figure of German Romanticism, Schumann composed in 1845 his "Six Études en forme de canon" op. 56 and his "Esquisses" op. 58 for pedal piano, then the "Six Fugues sur B-A-C-H" op. 60 for organ or pedal piano, works that combine contrapuntal rigor with poetic imagination.
