Schumann: Carnaval op.9 – Aveu

Mitsuko Uchida

From Schumann : Carnaval / Kreisleriana (2007)

Released by Decca

Schumann: Carnaval op.9 – Aveu

When Schumann composed the Carnaval, he was torn between his then fiancée Ernestine and Clara, his future wife.
I just wonder whether this confession is a) to Ernestine that he does not love her anymore or b) to Clara.
