Description
This intermezzo is part of a joint composition by Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann and Albrecht Dietrich (one of Schumann’s pupils) for violin and piano. The sonata is dedicated to Joseph Joachim, the famous violinist. Its title is based on the initial letters of Joachim’s motto “Frei aber einsam” (free but alone). Schumann’s contribution is the intermezzo presented here whose composition is based on the thematic idea of the three tones F, A, E as mentioned before. Later on, he integrated this intermezzo into his 3rd sonata for violin in A minor. The arrangement for clarinet presented here required hardly any alterations from the original. The short movement is also suited as an encore.
