This composition, WIDMUNG ("dedication") was written by the German composer Robert Schumann in 1840. It was part of a song cycle called MYRTHEN, and the text was taken from a poem by Friedrich Ruckert. It is one of the most popular of all of Schumann's compositions, and was transcribed for keyboard by the great Hungarian piano virtuoso, Franz Liszt.

  • It really sounds like an opera singer:) beautiful piece.

  • Lovely enough to listen to again... and again and again! Another excellent performance, Peter!

  • Your playing is impeccable and beyond reproach, as usual.

    I surely do wish Clara could have gotten to know you and hear you play. She would be beside herself with joy.

  • Another winner, Peter. Thanks!

  • why does this have 2 dislikes? i don't get it.

  • Cluttered floor? Dude, you need to see my studio's floor. I imagine Peter shot from this high angle intetionally to show the pitch-preview and other things that would be interesting to fellow thereminists. Yeah, the color's weird, but at least he's not jaundice!

  • THIS IS AERPHONIC:

    Another impeccable performance by Mr. Copperleaves. I do have a criticism, however which has nothing whatsoever to do with the music. It is the terrible lighting, the awful camera angle and the cluttered floor. The green spotlight makes the performer appear bilious, gangrenous or afflicted with hepatitis. This.work would have been better served as an "audio only" upload with the thereminist's handsome visage as a fixed background photograph.

  • Once again, first. :) Good show, man.
