@werq34ac I agree with your latter point: Schumann does not always 'sing' with his piano music but he does 'speak', being the consummate musical story teller. However, I would disagree that Schumann doesn't have the harmonic richness of Chopin or Liszt; maybe Schumann is more willing to be embrace the 'vulgar' in his music (as seen in Pierrot of Carnaval) in stark contrast to the unfailing grace of Chopin? Either way, I love both Schumann and Chopin!

@alexmfrankel I know how you feel, I was confused too and I used to not like Schumann. I might be wrong, but I think it's that Schumann doesn't have the harmonic richness of Chopin and Liszt. Schumann isn't always "sung" sometimes it's "spoken" and you have to listen to the story, not the quality of the sound. Does that make sense?

That 'change' comes straight out of 3rd movement (Rondo: Allegro) in Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 5, the "Emperor". I was surprised to hear it myself haha.
