About
Nor did Schumann embed in the history of piano playing such milestones of technical mastery and manual dexterity as Liszt who - inspired by Paganini's concerts and enabled by the double-escapement action developed by Sebastien Erard in 1821 - had practically reinvented the instrument by the time he wrote his Etudes d'execution transcendante in 1837.
And neither the sprightliness of Felix Mendelssohn's keyboard idiom nor Charles-Valentin Alkan's exaltation of virtuosity are characteristic of Schumann's piano music, even if he proves in his Abegg Variations, op.1 (1830), and his Toccata, op.7 (1832), that he brilliantly commanded both approaches to the instrument.
