Carnaval is the Schumann piece in which spontaneity, invention and superlative technique coexist most vividly. Written in September 1834, Carnaval is a series of tableaux, a masked ball in which one character after another takes centre-stage. It was described by the composer as "Little scenes on four notes", a reference to the exercise in creative cryptography by which Schumann proclaimed his love for Ernestine von Fricken through the music. The letters ASCH, which spell Ernestine's birthplace as well as a fragment of his own name, translate in German musical notation into the notes A, E flat, C and B. Permutations of these notes litter the entire score, generating the themes for the Carnival characters, some of them historical (Chopin and Paganini), others folkloric (Pierrot and Harlequin) and others incarnations of Schumann's various personae (Florestan and Eusebius). It concludes with a march of the Davidsbündler, in which the Philistines are put triumphantly to flight.

The half-shut doors through which we heard that music
Are softly closed.
The stars whirl out, the night grows deep
Darkness settles upon us A vague refrain lulls the brain.
Where have we been? What savage chaos of music
Whirls in our dreams wild clouds and singing rain. moonlit shore, until
We open our eyes and stare at the darkness,
And enter our dreams again. Poem by Conrad Aiken....
