Davidsbundlertanze Op 6 Piano Solo

The ŒñDavidsbundŒî Œ_ a group of artists who had joined forces in a revolutionary struggle against the backward structures in the artistic world, amongst whose members he counted both real and imaginary people Œ_ only existed in SchumannŒÍs imagination. He published the first edition of his ŒñDavidstí_nzeŒî under the pseudonym ŒñFlorestan and EusebiusŒî Œ_ the two characters that represented contrasting (impetuous and gentle) aspects of his own self. Clara Wieck, to whom he unsuccessfully proposed several times whilst writing it, is also represented; Œñmore than anythingŒî he dedicated these dances to her. These short, extremely diverse tone pictures afford us an intimate insight into SchumannŒÍs emotional state at the time.?
