Schumann's A minor concerto is considered as the ultimate romantic piano concerto. Since the Schumann anniversary year 2010, musicians will be able to base their performance on a complete Urtext edition. The state of the sources is unfortunately patchy, as the original version of the first movement, a "Phantasie" of 1841 that was given two trial performances, can no longer be reconstructed. On the other hand, the posthumously published score raises certain questions, since it diverges from the editions (solo part and orchestral parts) authorized by Schumann and published in 1846, after the first performance. The pianist Mitsuko Uchida contributed the fingering for the version for two pianos. Schumann's great solo concertos are thus available in their entirety from Breitkopf, in editions prepared with the expert help of major interpreters: the Cello Concerto with Heinrich Schiff and the Violin Concerto with Thomas Zehetmair. "Dans l'incomparable qualite de gravure de la plus ancienne maison d'edition musicale au monde!" (L'education musicale).

Best suggested fingering!
I have 8 current editions of this piece with various editors. I bought this edition since they are the original publishers of Beethoven piano concerti. Well, by far it recommends the best and most innovative fingering I have encountered so far. Much better than Henle and all the rest of the prominent publishers of classical music. The third movement fingering makes movement so much more economizing and straightforward. Really worth the effort to read and understand.
