His sense of humour here comes vividly to life where in the first movement (out of five), Schumann introduces a quotation from the \u003ci\u003eMarseillaise\u003c\/i\u003e out of the blue. This symbol of Revolutionary France was banned in Vienna and Schumann obviously realized that his nice new Viennese publisher Pietro Mechetti could get into trouble when he eventually published the work in 1841. But by then Schumann had long left Vienna and returned to Leipzig.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093806338207,"sku":"22226","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Schumann_2C_Robert_Faschingsschwank_aus_Wien_22226a.jpg?v=1722190491","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/22226-schumann-robert-faschingsschwank-aus-wien-fantasiebilder-fur-das-piano-forte-26tes-werk","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
