Hommage à R. Sch.

Hommage à R. Sch. is a program dedicated to the legacy of R. Schumann and his lasting influence on later composers. The Intermezzi reveal his most intimate musical voice, where fleeting emotions and lyrical reflections unfold in miniature forms. His Märchenerzählungen for clarinet, viola, and piano continue this narrative spirit, unfolding like musical fairy tales filled with character and lyrical dialogue between the instruments. G. Kurtág’s Hommage à Robert Schumann brings this journey into the present. With remarkable delicacy and concentration, Kurtág captures the essence of Schumann’s poetic spirit, allowing echoes of Romantic imagination to resonate within a contemporary sound world. 

Together, these works create a dialogue between Romantic and modern musical language.
