Oblong, 35 x 28 cm, 16, 12 pp. Full-color
reproduction of the autograph score dating from 1848. Schumann’s piano
tribute to the forest
consists of 9 scenes representing a full day of hunting game, exploring
nature, sharing
companionship, and contemplating one’s life and dreams. The manuscript
served as the
composer’s working draft which he then revised in stages over the
subsequent 20 months,
finally sending it to the publisher for use as the engraver’s layout
model. The dedicatee of
the Waldszenen was the young amateur pianist Annette Preusser, the
daughter of a prominent
businessman in Leipzig with whose family the Schumanns had maintained a
long-standing
friendship. Handsome coverboards in green decorative paper with
Schumann’s signature embossed
on cover. $89 (view other
