The two-volume collection 'Romantic Piano Music' draws from the vast repertoire of 19th-century music for piano duet. The 23 pieces include real 'gems' unjustly forgotten or lesser known works which shall be brought to mind again with these two volumes. As a consequence rarely played works of great composers such as Schubert Mendelssohn Dvorák Schumann Brahms Fauré and Moszkowski are next to hitherto undiscovered compositions by Johann Ludwig Böhner Heinrich Hofmann Friedrich Gernsheim or Julius Röntgen among others. A creative collection to add to the piano duet repertoire.

On 20 December 1823 Helmina von Chezy'sRosamundereceived its premiere performance at Vienna's Theater an der Wien. Unfortunately the Viennese version of this drama with ghosts, pirates, attempted poisonings and other horrifying ingredients has not survived - unlike Schubert's popular incidental music which also includes choruses and dances. This music was already highly praised by contemporary critics, with special acknowledgment given tothe genius of this much-loved master. As evidence of its popularity, the overture and theHunters' Chorushad to be encored at the premiere. Now Barenreiter is issuing one of Schubert's best-known compositions in a complete vocal score with piano reduction.
