With these two piano editions (EB 8161/EB 8162), Breitkopf & Härtel made its contribution to the Clara Schumann centennial (l00th anniversary of her death in 1996). The March is the composer’s last and little-known work. The Romances are a little group of pieces that had been previously available only in the collection "Brahms and his Friends" (EB 8303). Die Urauffuhrung fand am 9. November 1835 unter der Leitung von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy im Leipziger Gewandhaus statt - mit der Komponistin am Klavier. Die vollstandige Partitur des Konzerts ist nicht uberliefert. Hauptquelle der Urtext-Ausgabe ist die Erstausgabe des Klavierparts von 1837 der als Beilage die Orchesterstimmen enthalt. The first performance of the work took place in the Leipzig Gewandhaus on 9 November 1835. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy conducted and Clara Schumann played the solo. No complete score of the the Concerto has survived. The main source of the Urtext edition is the first edition of the piano part of 1837 which contains the orchestral parts as a supplement.
