Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op. 73, was originally conceived for clarinet and piano, but Schumann himself also created versions for violin and cello.
Composition History
Robert Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op. 73, was composed in just two days in 1849, during a period when Schumann and his wife Clara had to flee Dresden due to political turmoil.
Interpretation
The trumpet transcription of Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op. 73, maintains the original key and register of the clarinet version, with minimal changes to the solo part.
Album & Artwork
The album title, "Permit Me Voyage," comes from a book of poems by James Agee, which also contains the poem "Sure on this shining night" set to music by Samuel Barber.
Interpretation
This album marks the first time any of the featured material has been included on a major release by a trumpet soloist.
Performer Biography
Craig Morris, the trumpet soloist, was formerly the Principal Trumpet in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, a position he left to pursue a career as a soloist and chamber musician.
Interpretation
The trumpet transcriptions on this album aim to recast the pieces with new textures and colors while maintaining the original musical soul.
