First up is Schumann’s 1834 Carnaval, a series of 21 motivically linked, heavily allusive masquerade-ball miniatures that evoke everything from commedia dell’arte characters to Schumann’s then-fiancée Ernestine von Fricken, future wife Clara Wieck, and illustrious colleague Frédéric Chopin. Giltburg then moves on to one of the piano’s most formidable challenges: Liszt’s Piano Sonata in B Minor, a continuously flowing burst of music that juxtaposes passages of furious virtuosity and heart-rending lyricism.
