Clara Wieck's sincerest wish was that her future husband, Robert Schumann, turn his extraordinary genius toward the larger and more challenging task of composing orchestral music. Confiding in her diary in 1839, just one year before her marriage, she explained that "it would be best if he composed for orchestra; his imagination cannot find sufficient scope in the piano " In the years that followed their marriage Robert continued to devote much of his attention to piano music, but he also found time to comply with his beloved Clara's wish by cre-ating a number of musical pieces composed specifically for piano and orchestra. Although Schumann's genius is most in evidence in his masterful solo piano compositions and superb lieder, his lively and provocative imagination manifests itself with equal aplomb in the works composed for piano and orchestra. The same compelling romantic and lyrical qualities that captivate lovers of Schumann's piano music are evident in these compositions. Three of his finest are pr

At the turn of the century, when Alessandro Longo began editing his ll-volume collection of the keyboard sonatas of Domenieo Scarlatti, the legacy of the brilliant composer was still overshadowed by that of his contemporary, Johann Sebastian Bach. Today, Scarlatti (1685-1757) is recognized by most scholars and musicians as "the founder of modern keyboard execution" (Grove's Dictionary). His inventive style--most notable in these "essercizi" or sonatas--exercised a powerful influence over later masters such as Mendelssohn and Liszt. This sturdy volume presents 40 of Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas in a handsome, affordable edition compiled directly from Longo's monumental ll-volume set. Written in the last fifteen years of his life while Scarlatti enjoyed the generous patronage of Queen Maria Barbara of Spain, the sonatas are the crowning achievements of an outstanding Baroque composer. Exciting experimental effects--consecutive fifths and octaves, crossing hands, internal repetitions, and extended chords

Melding literary, philosophical and political--as well as musical--influences in his works, Richard Wagner (1813-1883) brought the expressive power of German Romantic opera to new heights--indeed, his music was its crowning glory. George Bernard Shaw, a critic not given to hyperbole, acknowledged Wagner's preeminent status: "He was the summit of the nineteenth century school of dramatic music." (The Perfect Wagnerite). In Der Ring des Nibelungen, Wagner drew on a medieval German epic, the Nibelungenlied, and Norse mythology to create a new synthesis of music and drama on the largest scale. Of the four works in the Ring cycle, GOtterdiimmerung is perhaps the grandest and most sweeping of all. Although it is the final work in the series, the opera was actually first sketched out by Wagner in 1848, under the title, Siegfrieds Tod. As it turned out, dramaturgic difficulties forced the composer to effpand the tragedy of Siegfried into the four-part Ring. In 1851, he amplified Sieg[rieds Tod with Der iunge Sieg
