The desperation, searching nature and sense of fragility to the melody at 23:57 that is echoed throughout the 4th movement makes this my favourite movement in all of the Schumann Sonatas. Pure passion just before as well at 23:42 where I am reminded of much from Puccini's Manon Lescaut. Excellent handling, balance and portrayal by Glemser here

This musical work does well to demonstrate Schumann's unique ability to tell stories through his compositions. A snippet of this work puts this work in a completely different category than similar works such as Chopin’s piano sonatas, Liszt’s piano sonatas and Brahms piano sonatas is when Schumann rolls his E major theme after the deacclimatization of the arpeggio section. Such a beautiful sequence sticks in the head far better than any theme from works of other composers of his time. Schumann really was an author to heart. Schumann evidently created his works as if he was writing a novel, whereas composers such as Chopin and Brahms composed musical paintings of emotion.

"Notice that opening of the Scherzo anticipates the "Clara" theme of the third movement." That motif comes from the very opening motif, which is seen in all four movements.

[@ejb7969]

In the first movement I hear anticipations of the Fantasie in C and the repeated middle section of one of Brahms's late piano pieces - in op 118 or 119 I think. In the final movement towards the middle I hear something from Feinberg's Op 1 Sonata -- or else Medtner. This Sonata is definitely visionary.

[@marcvincenti6624]

These are wonderful program notes!-and so accurate. Thank you. In the theme of the last movement is there also something of the very first pages of the sonata? I find in Schumann something that is wild, savage, which distinguishes him from the other Romantic composers. The strange relationship with the bar line; the accented sixteenth notes that begin after a sixteenth rest after the bar line. In the third variation (Andantino) there is something so antic!-how did Schumann hear these things and come up with them? They're like nothing else. He is so good at wearing his heart on his sleeve, perhaps even too good sometimes, and the sleeve can be tattered, smudged, torn-he doesn't care; he loves it. And man, those guys-Brahms and Schumann-were as determined as gangbusters to wring every last amount of Romantic possibility and noble statement from the sonata form in their first three works, each of them, in the form. I find Glemser superb here. He avoids dragging the tempo in the Andantino, doesn't draw it out into something funereal. And he gives the staccato markings their due, especially in the opening movement. If I'm not mistaken, he even eschews some of the pedaling as marked, in favor of a drier texture. The clarity of the prestissimo is astonishing. Schumann is like no other: it's as if, in his mind, the grotesque and the beautiful are never far from each other, are cousins. This is dangerous territory, and I don't know that I'd want to live there, but it's territory that, in some deeper layers of the mind, humanity passes its confused days in. Marc Vincenti

[@MaestroTJS]

Brahms = Bach + Beethoven + Schumann - intrinsic inspiration + hard work. Brahms is a great example of how far acquired skill can take you when you lack a deep reservoir of creativity and vision. Schumann always sounded like spring and summer, Brahms always sounded like autumn and winter. If Schumann had had Brahms' technique or Brahms had had Schumann's creativity/vision/spontaneity, all I can say is...holy crap.

[@alesa351]

Sorry but this is rubbish, or I misunderstood it. Schumann doesn't need to hide from anyone in terms of "technique", his harmonies and structural ingenuity are second to none. The motivically-obsessed, Beethoven-like manner which you find in Brahms is just not the style he wanted to compose in. Although the first mvt of this sonata is a nice example of him very creatively transforming the descending note motive. Also, the Brahms comment is ridiculous. You don't get to compose something like the Werther Quartet or the 2nd piano concerto without immense creativy or vision.

[@vulkanosaure]

@@MaestroTJS the argument of Brahms not being super creative and only being a hard worker is something I remember reading a long time ago in some book about Brahms. So I know some people say that about him, buy I spontaneously disagree. Brahms has a uniquely deep and dark sound, his music makes me see through vast abysses in a way that none other does, and I can't call that anything else than pure and deep creativity. **Going to listen to Brahms piano quintet**

[@csdrew22]

I realize you wrote this a year ago but if you're still interested, the Clara theme is represented by a descending perfect fifth. Any time you see a falling fifth in Schumann's repertoire, there's a good chance it's a reference to Clara. The theme is presented in this Sonata as a fifth from C down to F, with notes Bb, Ab, and G in between. The reason that a perfect fifth represents Clara's name, to my understanding, is because there are five letters in her name.

Hearing both of their wild changes of rhthms , keys , textures melodies overlapping . Both are wilder seeming than even Chopin Bb minor which is wild like Beethoven .Yet Chopin loved Missa Solemnis but understood so little of other Beeth.

According to Daverio, throughout all this only the variations movement (on a theme of Clara Wieck (later Clara Schumann) remained basically untouched throughout all the revisions.)"
