Description

This “Romance” is a movement from the “Konzertstück”, opus 86 for 4 horns and orchestra by the German composer Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856). Around 1850 Schumann was engaged in composing for the horn as a solo instrument. He always had the valve horn in mind and not the natural horn, which was still widely used in those days. This “Konzertstück” is clearly meant for the valve version; all possibilities of this instrument of that time are reflected in it. When it appeared, the work was considered unplayable.

The opening of this lyrical, sensitive “Romance” features question and answer play, especially between the soloists. The middle movement (from bar 39) has a Brahms-like melody, which is introduced by the orchestra and then passed on to the soloists. After a repeat of the first movement, this work concludes with a short coda.
