Product Family | SCHUMANN 3 Romances, Op. 94 / Ottensamer

Clarinettist Andreas Ottensamer and pianist José Gallardo perform the second of Schumann’s three Romances, Op. 94. He wrote them in 1849 and gave the manuscript to his wife Clara as a Christmas present that year. In the central Romance, marked Einfach, innig (Simple, heartfelt), the plaintive, lyrical main theme is contrasted with a stormier central section. Ottensamer and Gallardo bring both warmth and intensity to this deceptively simple piece.
