Description :

The title has been taken from a review of Robert Schumann of the then newly published Préludes Op. 28. According to this reference, Stefan Heucke's Préludes are tributes to the three great piano composers of the 19th century: Chopin, Liszt and Schumann. By tradition, each of Heucke's 12 Préludes starts from a different keynote while attempting, however, to use major and minor modes at the same time in constantly new combinations.
