Schumann's works for piano 4 hands were written either in his early teens or in the last period of his life, in which he was troubled in his mind. They consist of dances ('Polonaises', 'Ballszenen', 'Kinderball') or short pieces for children (resembling his 'Album f�r die Jugend', for piano solo, or the famous 'Kinderszenen'). The 'Bildern aus Osten, Op. 66' form the most substantial cycle for piano 4-hands, evoking the poetry and spirituality of the Orient. Played with obvious dedication and love by Italian pianists Roberto Plano and Paola del Negro, savouring all the little original details of these charming and attractive works.
