  • Description

    Schumannis studies in counterpoint during 1845 climaxed in what he described as a eFugenpassioni. He rented a pedalboard attachment for his piano to extend his musicis textural possibilities and to help familiarise himself with organ technique. The resulting character pieces are amongst the most attractive examples for this instrument, and they translate so successfully to the organ that they have become a significant cornerstone of the repertoire. They are performed here on the historic and recently restored Furtwangler organ in Gronau, Germany n an instrument with a wide palette of colours that is well suited to Schumannis expressive works. Booklet notes for this release have been written by Tom Winpenny, and there are additional notes on the organ used (St Matthai, Fronau) with full specifications of its impressive range of registers.
