  • Description

    Jörg Demus died a few weeks ago at the age of ninety. MDG commemorates this great pianist with a new release of the
    Fantasiestücke op. 12 and Humoreske op. 20 by Robert Schumann, to whose music Demus felt drawn throughout his life.

    Performed on a Viennese pianoforte by Conrad Graf and
    recorded with the finest digital technology even more than thirty years ago, this program documents his tireless advocacy of historical keyboard instruments.

    Conrad Graf himself had given Clara and Robert Schumann a comparable instrument as a wedding present. Its special appeal comes from the “moderator,� a lever creating
    an elfin pianissimo, and the “harp stop,� which, as on the harpsichord, generates a pizzicato effect. Along with the �pearly� articulation typical of the pianoforte, these effects are a perfect match for Schumann’s romantic pieces.
