I still remember vividly about 30 years ago when I was a young teenager, I was eating lunch at a food court and a string quartette happened to be playing his music and I fell in love with the sound of his chamber music then and there, was the first time I ever heard anything by him is how I first came to love his music. Argerich - there is something about her sound I find especially alluring. Many times she plays too fast but I don't care, most people didn't complain when Heifetz played too fast. I think even as a very young child people could not believe the sound coming out of her.
+Harrison Richter Schumann is still played at lunch concerts! Just look on the web for a place nearby, usually the entrance fee is very low and the musicians can really use the money! :)
In the US? Well, if there were to be anywhere it would be played, it would probably be near me (Portland OR), and I'd love to support the musicians. However, I doubt the experience described above exists much anymore. More often than not it's crappy pop music, lol.
This is the most famous chamber music score of Robert Schumann. We have a perfect balance between the piano and strings, generous themes, excellent harmonic conducting, all what gives its value to the chamber music. The rendition is of course excellent. This is a great masterwork recording.
I remember that two and a half years ago I played this quintet as a pianist with four colleagues in times of pandemic, I was going through the deepest depression of my life, and this beautiful work was very significant for me.
I love Schumann. I think he is one of the most difficult composers to interpret. The performance here, to me, is the best of any of music by him I've ever heard--from the first note to the last. Thanks so much for this post. (And thanks, too, for adding the score.)
I was the pianist in amateur performance of this movement and the most enjoyable part of playing was the handing off to the other members of the quintet. It felt totally integrated. Areal satisfying group effort😊.
I can't thank you enough for uploading this piece with the score, I've been looking all over RUclips for it. Amazing players and quintet, thank you once again!
This is my favorite work of chamber music, period. Schumann is an underappreciated composer. Hearing the dazzling Martha Argerich play it makes it all the more wonderful, especially in the Scherzo, which she takes an somewhat uncharacteristically "slow" [for her] tempo. Thank you for posting this performance, and the score.
@@TheSteveBerlin I don't think so. If you would tell this about such great composers as Zelenka etc. I would agree with you. But Schumann is overwhelmingly played everywhere in the world
This was the first chamber work I ever heard. I was ten. I remember feeling overwhelmed by the sound in the small salon where it was played but it has stuck in my mind as a happy experience ever since. Thank you for this beautiful performance by Argerich and this skilled string quartet
Thanks for the upload! "The coda to the finale of Brahms' Third Symphony is an occasion for a return to the opening theme of the first movement, but this example of cyclic form is based on the practice of Mendelssohn, principally in the String Quartet in A minor and the Piano Sonata in E major. There was also the example of Schumann's Quintet for Piano and Strings in Eb major, where the coda of the finale triumphantly exhibits the main theme of the first movement in a fugue." Sonata Forms, by Charles Rosen, Revised Edition, 1988, p. 352
I appreciate your comment. This is an outstanding chamber work. Truly magnificent. Excellent! I, too, have my own plans for my funeral, including, perhaps oddly, the closing moments of Holst's "Indra".
On a related note Argerich and Perlman just did another recording togather that will be released at the end of this month including a Schumann sonata for violin and piano. Kyung Wha Chung has been making a comeback by making a series of recordings I think are only available in Korea, among them are some of Schumann's violin sonatas, her recording of the Strauss and Respighi with Chopin competition winner Krystian Zimmerman is my favorite violin piano recording of all time. Her live recording of Beethoven and Bruch with Tennstedt is to this day still my favorite recordings of both forever cementing her place in the hall of fame. I also fully recommend Ilya Kaler's recording of the Schumann violin sonatas, he was a student of Kogan and I can honestly say that I think there has never been a better violinist I've ever heard. I uploaded this out of print recording some time ago just search for Kaler Schumann...
hello? My name is Jeongmin Lee and I live in Korea. Of all the sonata-type pieces I've heard so far, I like the Schumann one I've heard so far. Among them, the first movement seemed to have a beautiful melody and a bit of a lieder sound, a little different from the usual first movement. Thank you so much for sharing such great music with us.
Robert Schuman was way ahead of his times; sometimes there really are artists, who, throughout the ages manage with God's gift of creativty, to pull things out of what seems to be oblivion that which exemplifies the uncontrolled, freed human mind.
I like classical music but I didn't know this quintent and I only found out about it thanks to a song called Ophelia by a classical crossover quartet called Forte Di Quattro, which based its melody on the second movement. I'm glad I found it because this is very beautiful!!! And I love that music like this is timeless and musicians are still getting inspiration from it.
@@bernardassokolovas5020 I mean, that's the tenor clef, but I presume the OP means an actual usage of the treble clef in the score. Don't have time to look for it now, but I don't doubt it's there (and it exists in other music as well)
@@bernardassokolovas5020 Treble clef is a G clef. The C clefs are alto, tenor, soprano, mezzo-soprano and baritone. Viola and alto trombone use the alto clef; bassoon, tenor trombone and cello can use the tenor clef in the high register, but the old practice was to write high cello parts in treble clef sounding an octave lower.
WOW! thank you for uploading this! It's truly a magnificant work of art and the performance is just out of this world! And ofcourse... thank you Schumann
If you are a Schumann fan, as I am, you should see the movie "Song of Love," which chronicles the love triangle between Brahms, Clara Wieck-Schumann, and Schumann himself. The cast is superb, though the story is, inevitably, heartbreaking. I saw the movie on TCM.
Yes I quite liked that film! Of course, with almost all Hollywood adaptations, it was highly fictionalised, but it was still very enjoyable. And did you see Katharine Hepburn playing the actual music you hear in the film? (even though it was overdubbed). She fought to keep her own playing, but the Hollywood bosses didn't allow it. Which actress nowadays could pull off such a feat?
Can't say I'm impressed by the pizzicato. Surprisingly few people can actually do good pizzicato, because nobody pays mind to it. I do love this piece and performance though. Is great.
quelle beauté dans la musique de chambre de schumann,, on pressent l'arrivée imminente du génial brahms ,, et pourtant il existe un monde entre ces deux créateurs et c'est tant mieux ,, je les imagine avec clara et leur amis près du piano l'hiver sirotant une bière et pérorant entre deux créations ,, quelle chance avaient les auditeurs ,, merci aux musiciens
I played this piece, the trout, and the Mendelsohn Octet at noon concerts at UC Berkeley, among other places. IT's not a food court but it is at lunch time! As a violist they work you pretty hard, there are never enough violists at any university, hence if you are a music major your job is to play at every noon concert in which a viola is needed. Also at everyone's recital, including composition recital - some of which can really tax your patience. how is someone accepted as a composition major at UC or Stanford or wherever? They work incredibly hard to write such unplayable stuff. Keep your day job already!
Amazing quintet, sitting alongside the Schubert (Trout), Brahms and Dvorak. Later amazing piano quintets among others - Franck and J. Mahleb (not to be confused with G. Mahler) which I've only recently discovered here
Ugh I had to practice the fourth movement and perform it in two weeks last year at my high school's orchestra retreat =_= Great piece but that was rough. Pretty sure I missed an entire page but I can't remember. If anyone wants their ears bleeding I actually have a video on my channel. I personally don't wanna go back and watch it.
The second movement reminds me of Chopin's funerary elements. I don't purport to be learned on music, but was that a device used during the Romantic period and to what effect?
One of the problems with RUclips is people desperate to tell us 'why they are here'. Nobody gives a fuck why you are here. It doesn't enrich anyone's life when you share your decisions
I can't say I'm generally a massive fan of Schumann, in no small part because his finales are often so underwhelming. However, this piece is wonderful, and I'm having trouble working out why the finale works so much better here than with so much of his other music, given that, in essence, he's treating the material in much the same way. In any case, it works really well.
I can't listen to this and not think of Clara playing this, written for her with obvious love. They had studied Bach's Well Tempered Clavier. I think the Quintette is inspired by Bach's No. 7 in E flat major in Book 1.
I still remember vividly about 30 years ago when I was a young teenager, I was eating lunch at a food court and a string quartette happened to be playing his music and I fell in love with the sound of his chamber music then and there, was the first time I ever heard anything by him is how I first came to love his music.

@@severinsakkarafx2218nothing is usual with Schumann really
This is indeed one of the greatest piano quintets I know. A remarkable performance.
The only better quintet is Brahms' Opus 34a. Many CDs have them paired, as they belong together.
My favourite piano quintet and coincidentally (or not), the first one I performed. I love this superstar group on this recording!~
For me too it`s my favourite with the Quintet of Enescu.
