Schumann's A minor Concerto is considered the Romantic piano concerto par excellence, and it has finally been edited as a Urtext edition. Unfortunately, the source situation is incomplete, as the original version of the first movement - a Fantasia from 1841, which nonetheless had two trial performances - can no longer be reconstructed. On the other hand, the posthumously published score raises questions, as it deviates from the editions (solo part and orchestral parts) printed in 1846 after the premiere and authorised by Schumann.

"Studying the orchestral part with the aid of the clearly arranged score is a task that is not only technically manageable for amateurs, but also a rewarding one." (Das Liebhaberorchester)

Movements:
1. Allegro affettuoso
2. Intermezzo
3. Allegro vivace
