Waldszenen (Forest Scenes) Op. 82 by Schumann

DescriptionPresenter
Waldszenen, Op. 82, was Robert Schumann’s only large-scale piano work written towards the end of his career. Many of the individual pieces in this cycle are an appropriate way for intermediate pianists to transition into more advanced Romantic repertoire. Mary Moran will discuss how the concepts of the Taubman Approach will make these exquisite pieces accessible.Mary Moran
