about

This composition is in the public domain. Part 2 from Fantasiestücke Opus 12 by Robert Schumann, dedicated to Miss Anna Robena Laidlaw in 1837.

*** To help offset the continued dominance of a colonizing, patriarchal societal mindset, I am donating any proceeds from my Schumann performance collection to the Seattle chapter of Black Lives Matter.

"The bold opening theme in B flat minor is the Excelsior cry of the (Longfellow) poem, the enunciation of pride, courage, resolution, aspiration, yet of a stern sadness withal, for ambition is the avowed and deadly foe of happiness. Then follow successively, as in the poem, suggestions of the various difficulties, temptations and dangers that beset the upward path, the seductions of love, the allurements of home and rest, the peace and resignation proffered by religion, the growing terror of the ever darker and lonelier way, the warning, 'Beware the pinetree’s withered branch, Beware the awful avalanche.'" -Etude Magazine, July 1906
