Carnaval Op. 9 for Piano

Robert Schumann's Carnaval is much more than a set of character pieces and musical portraits, it is in fact also a work of ingenious orthographies. Schumann realized that the name of his fiancée's hometown, 'Asch', could betranslated into notes according to the German reckoning of pitch names: 'A'. This Urtext edition for piano solo has been edited from sources by Hans Joachim Köhler.
