Zart
und mit Ausdruck; Lebhaft, leicht; Rasch und mit Feuer
The three Fantasiestücke of Robert Schumann date from 1849. Originally
intended for clarinet, Schumann directed that they could be performed also on
violin or cello.
The first of the pieces, "Zart und mit Ausdruck" (Delicately and with
expression), maintains a constant triplet-rhythm accompaniment in the piano,
which supports the instrumental line. Piano and cello share the melody in the
second piece, "Lebhaft, leicht" (Lively, light). The third piece,
"Rasch und mit Feuer" (Fast and with fire) begins forte with a sense of urgency. Triplet
rhythms again dominate the piano part, while the cello plays its animated
melody. The composer directs that each piece proceed with little or no pause,
demonstrating that the pieces were conceived as a unified whole. Wendy Law
