Dr. Luis Dias presented two short films featuring works of Robert Schumann, preceded by a small talk, on the occasion of Schumann’s birth bicentenary, which is being celebrated the world over by music lovers.
The first film clip featured Lang Lang playing the Abegg Variations, Schumann’s first published work, a witty musical cryptogram that has five notes as its nucleus.
The second film clip has Sir Clifford Curzon playing Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood). A suite of 13 pieces that showcases Schumann’s musical imagination at the peak of its musical clarity.
