About This Song
About "Schumann: Carnaval, Op. 9: No. 17a, Valse allemande" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
A German waltz spun from Schumann’s carnival whirl: Michelangeli’s touch is crystalline yet coy, the rhythm a polite bow that barely conceals a smirk. Under the ballroom polish, a hint of unease—as if the dancers know the night must end.
