This release sees Mariko and Volker Eckerle of the Eckerle Piano Duo perform arrangements of works by Schumann for two pianos, the fourth instalment in their ongoing series. Playing arrangements of orchestral and operatic works on domestic pianos was an important part of 19th-century musical life and therefore a key line of revenue for composers, one that Schumann dived into enthusiastically. He arranged his own Symphony No. 2 in C Major for two pianos in collaboration with Clara Schumann in this way, and entrusted arrangements of the overtures Genoveva and Julius Caeser to his friend Robert Pfretzschner and brother-in-law Woldemar Bargiel, all of which are included here along with an anonymous arrangement of the Konzertstück for 4 Horns & Orchestra.
