The six songs of Clara Schumann’s Op.13 convey the intense emotions portrayed in the poems that inspired
them, and they are absolutely charming. These lieder are nicely adaptable for a solo instrument in lieu of voice, and particularly lovely when played on either alto flute or clarinet. We’ve just published parts for either alto flute or B-flat-clarinet, transcribed from the original Sechs Lieder voice lines; visit the listing pages for further details.
The official release date for this new AMW CD is January 14, 2022, but CDs may be purchased through NSM now. This CD is a treasure, featuring exquisite renditions of tunes by the great Duke Ellington and his circle performed by the Peter Bloom and John Funkhouser flute and piano jazz duo. This disc would make a great holiday gift; find more info on the Exuberant Ellingtonia listing page.
