Works Summary

Performer

• Andreas Staier (Piano)

Composer

• Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856)

Remarks:

For Schumann, Bach was the supreme benchmark. He saw in his great predecessor not merely a genius of the past, but a vital source for his art and sought both inspiration and psychological stability in Bach's music. Schumann paid tribute to his mentor in many different ways. He wrote chorales and fugues like Bach, borrowing his themes, or playing on the four notes that form his name, B-A-C-H. Schumann was also a driving force in the creation of the Bach-Gesellschaft (BG), which was founded in the centenary year 1850 with the purpose of publishing the complete works. On this disc of Bach-inspired works, acclaimed keyboard artist Andreas Staier plays an Erard fortepiano - an instrument which possesses a timbre that would have been familiar to those living in Schumann's time.
