1. Schumann – Fantasie – Khatia Buniatishvili, Piano<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Fantasie in C major<\/em><\/a>, Op. 17, was written by\u00a0Robert Schumann<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in 1836. It was revised prior to publication in 1839, when it was dedicated to\u00a0Franz Liszt<\/strong><\/a>. It is generally described as one of Schumann\u2019s greatest works for solo piano, and is one of the central works of the early Romantic period. It is often called by the Italian version, Fantasia; the word \u201cFantasie\u201d is the German spelling. The piece has its origin in early 1836, when Schumann composed a piece entitled\u00a0Ruines<\/em>\u00a0expressing his distress at being parted from his beloved Clara Wieck (later to become his wife). This later became the first movement of the Fantasy.<\/p>\n
