Carnival swank from Vienna

Der Faschingsschwank from Vienna, op. 26, is a piano cycle by Robert Schumann . It is dedicated to Simonine of Sire in Dinant . Schumann composed the first four movements in Vienna and the finale after his return to Leipzig . The work was written in 1839 near the romances, op. 28, and the piano pieces, op. 32. Together they form the end of the series of early piano works by Schumann. The five movements suggest the character of a sonata, but Schumann's subtitle Fantasiebilder shows the proximity to previous cycles such as the Carneval or the Kreisleriana .
