About This Song
About "Märchenerzählungen, Op. 132: I. Lebhaft, nicht zu schnell" by Alessandro Carbonare
Lebhaft, nicht zu schnell—lively but not rushed—opens Schumann’s fairy-tale dialogues with a clarinet that darts like a will-o’-the-wisp. Carbonare balances playful grace with a shadow of longing, each phrase a whispered secret in a moonlit forest.
