While "Novelette" means a short story, Schumann himself referred to it as "a collection of adventure tales." When all eight pieces are combined, a fantastical and expansive world unfolds. The period from 1836 to 1838 saw the creation of many piano masterpieces, marking one of Schumann's artistic peaks. The style of collections of short pieces, such as the Noveletten, was fully established during this time. This musical language combines individual poetic miniatures to form a unified musical image, possessing a grandeur of scale where inner landscapes emerge as sound.
