Well said. The a section is marked at 108 bpm, probably Schumann wanted the trioles and dotted notes to not be played together and at that speed you can hear that. Ashkenazy plays at 150 bpm or so. I don't like this need to play every fast piece as fast as possible
Of course another find performance by V. I play but never got into Schuman and this piece left me cold and uninterested. Ligeti said he was influenced by Schumann, in particular this piece. In both cases, Ligeti and this piece, I see form, structure, pattern, and complexity - but nothing to move the soul, nor a melody I'd care to play in my mind. Can anyone point me to some yummy Schumann piano?
Well, you would have to look hard to find a better piece than this for Staccato and Legato practice, Octave passages, and generally getting around the keyboard. Not to mention the very considerable musical value.....
Nofer Trunions: Pardon, you're wrong here, because sadly, Ashkenazy, whom I often respect very much, overruns this piece just too "casually", he did not bring out the interesting moments and, for example, played the first part "seamlessly" too loud and generally too loud, rough, like a steamroll -. There are beautiful melodies that want to be brought to life. The whole piece is an emotionally "captivating", colorful adventure, but of course you have to understand how to express it sensitively enough. Only then can you properly discover and decode this brilliant romantic music.
While I think the A section is way too fast. This guy plays the B section with some of the best phrasing I’ve ever heard in this piece.

True. The A section is meant to be a March, meaning the pianist must control the speed and show restraint.
Beautiful piece and interpretation!
Why do some pianists think they have to pound the living hell out of Schumann? He's playing quadruple forte whereas the music is marked forte.
Beautiful 😻😻

Try the Symphonic Etudes, the very famous and incredibly beautiful piano concerto, and Davidsbündlertänze (esp as played by Walter Gieseking)

In what way this is a good Czernyesque exercise, definitely what he was asking
Maybe Romance op.28 Nr.2 is more to your taste
