Carnaval is characteristic of Schumann's highly individual youthful romanticism and requires musical maturity for performance. Written for advanced pianists, it is a series of glimpses enveloped in the atmosphere of a masked ball with titles such as Arlequin,Papillons,Sphinxes,Coquette and so on. Most of the 23 pieces are based on the tes A-S-C-H, arranged in a succession of melodic and rhythm patterns ( s is German for E-flat, h is German for B-natural). Asch was a Bohemian town where Schumann had a girlfriend. 60 pages. Included is an outstanding CD recording from the Naxos label.
