MUSIC - ROBERT SCHUMANN
Footnotes
Schumann composed these duets in Düsseldorf in May 1851 and they were published as part of his Op.103 towards the end of the same year. Both this and the Op.104 solo songs are settings of poems by Elisabeth Kulmann (1808-1825), an astonishing child prodigy, whose output includes thousands of verses in German, Russian and Italian. Schumann mined the text of the recently published sixth edition of her poems to provide the songs in Op. 103 and Op. 104.
No complete autograph survives.
Reference: McCorkle I b, p.444.
Provenance: Heinrich Hinterberger, catalogue 20, Vienna, 1920, no. 483, the sale containing parts of the collections of Stefan Zweig and Hugo Riesenfeld; Adolf and Flora Hess; Maud Emma Hess (1902-1997) and by descent.
