About This Song

About "Carnaval, Op. 9 : Schumann: Carnaval, Op. 9: XVIb. Intermezzo: Paganini" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

Paganini's ghost haunts this intermezzo—Michelangeli's fingers dart with demonic agility, yet the music never loses its human pulse. The tension between virtuosic flash and tender introspection mirrors the carnival's mask: brilliance concealing a fragile heart.
