In 1849, one of the most
productive years in the whole of his output, Robert Schumann turned his
attention to three wind instruments in chamber music settings; his Three
Fantasy Pieces for clarinet and piano, and the Adagio and Allegro for horn and
piano were both written within one week in February. He composed the Three
Romances for oboe and piano in Dresden in December of the same year and is said to have
given them to his wife, Clara Wieck Schumann, as a Christmas present. She
performed them privately for the Schumann household with the concertmaster of
the Royal Chapel, Franz Schubert. The practice of playing the works on either
oboe or violin continues to this day. Flutist
Jean-Pierre Rampal transcribed Three Romances for flute and piano and published
his edition in 1976. Martha Councell
