Three Studies, Op. 56

Description

Flute 1, Flute 2, Piano — Each of the six "Studies for Pedal Piano", Opus 56 (1845) of Robert Schumann was written as a canon . This format seemed ideal for transcription for two flutes and piano as each voice soars clean and clear above a solid piano support. Since the pedal piano exists now only in museums, a transcription is the only way we can hear these most beautiful and touching of Schumann's melodies.
