Shtrykov-Tanaka Duo | Maksim Shtrykov, clarinet • Misuzu Tanaka, piano
Clara SCHUMANN (1819-1896) Three Romances, Op.22 for Violin & Piano (1853)
(transcribed for Clarinet by Maksim Shtrykov)
1. Andante molto 00:01
2. Allegretto: Mit zartem Vortrage 03:10
3. Leidenschaftlich schnell 06:06
"The Three Romances, Op. 22, were among the last pieces that Clara ever wrote. After Robert’s death, she composed almost nothing more herself, instead keeping Robert’s music alive through her touring and editing.
The romance was one of Clara’s favorite character genres, and these make complementary companions to Robert’s Märchenbilder. The Andante molto has hints of gypsy pathos amid lyrically supple sentiments, and the merry spirits of the Allegretto likewise have a darker center. Almost as long as the other two together, Clara’s final romance, marked Leidenschaftlich schnell (passionately quick), features a long-limbed melody over rippling pianism, developed with assurance."
