Now playing in this video: 🎵 Schumann: "Fantasy in C major"

Kiana Reid brings sweeping Romantic ardor and structural command to Schumann's "Fantasy in C major, Op. 17", a work born from the composer's anguished longing for Clara Wieck. Visionary and deeply personal, the piece moves from turbulent passion to hushed, transcendent stillness across its epic span.
