Next, a Cello arrangement of Schumann's second Violin Sonata. I have heard many recordings of the violin version but it never stood out to me, I just assumed that Schumann's health was failing and that he was past his prime, but this Cello Sonata version is absolutely amazing. Either I simply never heard a good recording or Schumann's illness threw his pitch off and he composed it for the wrong instrument.
