About This Item
The Young Schumann, the new by British pianist Charles Owen, is a musical narrative of Robert Schumann's early career, featuring works written in the 1830s when the composer was in his 20s. His first two published works, Abegg Variations and Papillons, the impetuous six Intermezzi, Op. 4, and the characterful Carnaval, Op. 9, are all fuelled by some of Schumann's compositional hallmarks his imagination and attraction to the fantastical, his love of ciphers and cryptograms, and his frequent quoting of each work within the others.
