This proofread edition of Robert Schumann's "Waldszenen op. 82" offers pianists a high-quality and user-friendly version of this fascinating piano cycle.

In nine character pieces, Schumann transports players and listeners to a musical forest landscape.

The sequence of the pieces shows Schumann's striving for a symmetrical architecture of the cycle:
The first piece "Eintritt" corresponds with the last "Abschied", the second "Jäger auf der Lauer" with the penultimate "Jagdlied".
The third piece "Einsame Blumen" is also thematically related to the third-to-last "Vogel als Prophet", as both depict animated nature.
The "Verrufene Stelle" as an eerie place contrasts with the homely "Herberge".
These pieces are grouped around the fifth piece "Freundliche Landschaft" as an axis of symmetry.

This edition makes it possible to get to know, experience and interpret the beauty and complexity of Schumann's forest scene compositions.
