Georg Schumann Chamber Music

[Mark Thomas]

Coming up in October is a juicy morsel from cpo: a Piano Quartet and Cello Sonata by Georg Schumann played by members of the Munich Piano Trio. No sound bites yet, but details at jpc here.

[Alan Howe]

A must-buy for me.

[Mark Thomas]

Oh yes, moi aussi.

Definitely......

I think I've skimmed the scores - available in the US or Canada @IMSLP and Sibley Library Rochester - of Georg Alfred Schumann's piano quartet in F minor (published 1901) (here.) His E minor cello sonata (published 1898) can be viewed, also only in limited regions until 2023, here.

(The Gesellschaft lists only the one piano quartet and one cello sonata (though two violin sonatas) but they list only the one symphony, too unless one searches other pages on their site than just their Werkverzeichnis...) Perhaps other piano quartets (to go with his 2 piano quintets) and other cello sonatas are among his unpublished manuscripts.)
