Evgeny Kissin plays Robert Schumann’s Myrthen cycle Op.25 No.1 Widmung For Piano solo (Liszt, S.566).
Robert would often wait in a cafe for hours in a nearby city just to see Clara for a few minutes after one of her concerts. The strain of this long courtship, and of its consummation, led to this great outpouring of Lieder. This is evident in “Widmung”, for example, where he uses the melody from Schubert’s “Ave Maria” in the postlude—in homage to Clara. Schumann’s biographers have attributed the sweetness, the doubt and the despair of these songs to the varying emotions aroused by his love for Clara and the uncertainties of their future together. In 1840 alone, Schumann wrote 168 songs.
