An hour-long-exploration into  the emotional worlds of both Robert - and Clara! - Schumann - all played live on Heifetz Institute stages and studios by students and faculty alike.  The title is also a nod to Robert Schumann’s manic personality; the wild mood swings that are a signature of his style.   Robert Schumann: Romance in F-sharp major, Op. 28, No. 2Lynne Mackey, pianoPrivate Studio Recording, Staunton VAHeifetz Institute recording | 11.18.2020 Robert Schumann: Adagio & Allegro, Op. 70Zexun (Jason) Shen, cello; Miki Aoiki, pianoPrivate studio recording, New York, NY | 07.20.2020 Robert Schumann: Kinderszenen, (“Scenes from Childhood”) Op. 15I.
