Kapellmeister Kreisler, the ingenious and eccentric conductor created by E.T.A. Hoffmann, served as
the inspiration for this composition of 1838. Schumann set out to recreate this fictitious character in music. The result
was Kreisleriana, a set of fantastical, at times scurrilous and always seemingly improvised pieces that directly reflect the
romantic sensibility that Kreisler personifies. If ever music was demonic, it would have to be these eight superb piano fantasies
that Schumann tossed off in a few days! Ernst Herttrich's thoroughly revised new edition provides a thoughtful preface by
this Schumann connoisseur and discusses the major editorial problems while giving them exemplary solutions.
