Fantasie, Op.17 (Schumann, Robert) Movements/Sections. Mov'ts/Sec's. 3 movements. Composition Year. 1836-38. Genre Categories. Fantasias; For piano; Scores featuring the piano; For 1 player.
The Symphonic Studies (French: Études Symphoniques), Op. 13, is a set of études for solo piano by Robert Schumann. It began in 1834 as a theme and sixteen variations on a theme by Baron von Fricken, plus a further variation on an entirely different theme by Heinrich Marschner .
The C major Fantasie’s first movement, for the most part, is magnificently played. Hamelin unfolds the music in sweeping, symphonic arcs as Pollini did in his recording from the early 1970s, but with a richer, more rounded tone.
In contrast to the Symphonic Etudes, the Fantasy in C Major has three substantial movements closely tied to Schumann's love for Clara Wieck and the desperate state of his emotions when her father would not allow him to see her.
