Robert Schumann's monument in Zwickau. (Unukorno/Wikimedia Commons)

The Romances for clarinet and piano by Robert Schumann is one of those pieces that you cherish during your whole life. I first practiced this work when I was about 17: it’s not that difficult in a technical way, but on the musical level, the phrasings, the breathing and so on, it’s quite a challenge. Furthermore it’s a beautiful piece to enjoy and play it together with a really good pianist.
