In 2010 the musical world will celebrate the 200th birthday of Robert Schumann. Many concerts will be dedicated to his oeuvre, featuring solo concertos, symphonies, piano works, and song-cycles. Without Schumann, 20th-century music would be quite different. The fusion of radical subjectivity and mastery of form, and his characteristic modernity and individuality has inspired and influenced many composers who came after him. Composers today have referred to Schumann unlike any other composer. We invite you to show these connections and programme concerts which bridge the gap between the original work and the arrangement or tribute composition.

If you are a director, conductor or festival organiser, this catalogue is indispensable for finding contemporary additions or works of contrast for
Schumann programmes. As well as providing tailor-made programmes, we can provide you with recordings, perusal scores and information free of charge. Just email infoservice@schott-music.com or phone your local office, details of which you will find in section "worldwide".
