“I am endlessly looking forward to the second sonata”, thus Clara wrote to Robert in 1838, “Your whole being is so clearly expressed in it.” Nonetheless in the same letter she encouraged him to revise the last movement, which provided the composition with a completely new finale. The first two movements were also reworked several times. The editor assiduously provides information on the complicated genesis of the work in this new edition. The musical text is not only followed by the original final movement, which is musically and pianistically very demanding, but also the model for the second movement: Schumann made an arrangement of one of his own songs (“In the autumn”) for the piano.

According to its opus number, the Piano Sonata in g minor op. 22 is the last of Schumann’s pieces in this genre. Actually, however, the work was written nearly contemporaneously with opus 11 and prior to opus 14. The romantic composer explored the genre of the classical sonata several times from about 1831 to 1838. Besides the opera 11, 14 and 22, his sonata oeuvre also … 계속

Connected with his oeuvre is the term he coined, Poetic Music, with which he strove for a fusion of literature and music, a paradigm particularly seen in his lyric piano pieces prior to 1839. Thereafter he devoted himself to other genres (song, symphony, chamber music, among others).

Ernst Herttrich è il curatore di questa nuova edizione della Klaviersonate, pubblicata dalla tedesca Henle. … Clara… incorragiò Robert a rivedere l’ultimo movimento, da lei giudicato inutilmente complesso, sia per la tecnica (esecutore) sia per la musicalità (pubblico). Schumann fu drastico: cambiò tutto il finale. In Appendice al volume è riportato il tempo conclusivo originale. Di seguito, è presente anche il modello del secondo movimento: un lied dello stesso Robert, intitolato In autunno. Piena soddisfazione anche per i più curiosi.
