Schumann's A minor concerto is considered as the ultimate romantic piano concerto. In the Schumann anniversary year 2010, performers will finally be able to base themselves on a complete Urtext edition. The state of the sources is unfortunately patchy, as the original version of the first movement, a "Phantasie" of 1841 that was given two trial performances, can no longer be reconstructed. On the other hand, the posthumously published score raises certain questions, since it diverges from the editions (solo part and orchestral parts) authorized by Schumannn and published in 1846, after the first performance. Also eagerly awaited is the publication of the version for two pianos on which the pianist Mitsuko Uchida has collaborated. Schumann's great solo concertos are thus available in their entirety from Breitkopf, in editions prepared with the expert help of major interpreters: the Cello Concerto with Heinrich Schiff and the Violin Concerto with Thomas Zehetmair.
