"Andante and Variations Op. 46 for 2 pianos, 2 cellos and horn": even in Schumann's collected works, one finds such an unusual scoring only once.No wonder the piece was initially left unprinted and only first released as a posthumous work. Schumann's widow Clara and Johannes Brahms apparently fervently believed in the piece and organized a posthumous world premiere with fellow Schumann admirers. Seeing that the "posthumous first edition" diverges often quite strongly from the autograph, it presents a particularly ideal situation for the new Urtext edition.
