Schumann's studies in counterpoint during 1845 climaxed in what he described as a 'Fugenpassion'.
He rented a pedalboard attachment for his piano to extend his music's textural possibilities and to help
familiarise himself with organ technique. The resulting character pieces are amongst the most
attractive examples for this instrument, and they translate so successfully to the organ that they have
become a significant cornerstone of the repertoire. They are performed here on the historic and
recently restored Furtwängler organ in Gronau, Germany - an instrument with a wide palette of
colours that is well suited to Schumann's expressive works.
