Clara Schumann's cadenzas to piano concertos by Beethoven (Opp. 37 and 58) and Mozart (K466)
not only give a unique insight into her performing and composing style they also throw light
on her relationship with Johannes Brahms whose cadenzas have considerable similarities to
those of Schumann. This Urtext edition of the cadenzas includes a preface in which the renowned
Canadian pianist Ludwig Sémerjian explores the interaction between Schumann and Brahms. The
edition also marks the first publication of Clara Schumann's early cadenzas for Mozart's D
minor Piano Concerto previously only available in the manuscript in the Library of Congress in
Washington DC.
