Carnaval is characteristic of Schumann's highly individual youthful
romanticism and requires musical maturity for performance. Written
for advanced pianists, it is a series of glimpses enveloped in the
atmosphere of a masked ball with titles such as "Arlequin,"
"Papillons," "Sphinxes," "Coquette" and so on. Most of the 23
pieces are based on the notes A-S-C-H, arranged in a succession of
melodic and rhythm patterns ("s" is German for E-flat, "h" is
German for B-natural). Asch was a Bohemian town where Schumann had
a girlfriend. 60 pages. Included is an outstanding CD recording
from the Naxos label.
