3 Lieder by R.Schumann
 
Robert Schumann (8 June 1810 – 29 July 1856) was a German composer and influential music critic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era.
 
Inspired by the wonderful arrangements by J.K.Merzt of the Schubert’s Lieder, I choose 3 of my favorite Lieder by Schumann and transcribed them for guitar solo. The beautiful melodies and the keen harmonies make them 3 little gems, ideal for a moment of great music in any program. 
 
Inspired by the wonderful Schubert-arrangements by J.K.Mertz (based anyways mostly on Liszt one’s) I adapted for guitar some Songs by R.Schumann.
An incredible creative and inspired composer, always outside rules and conventions, with a very personal romantic philosophy and aesthetic. One can hear it clearly in these 3 inspired songs: unusual change of harmony, extremely expressive phrases and... just wonderful moving music.
Even after so many years playing it, the ending of “Dein Bildnis” makes me think that there is still hope for humankind.
