Although Georg Schumann was not a descendant of Robert Schumann, he hailed from the same productive Saxon cultural landscape and was born to a highly musical family. He early developed into a brilliant pianist who already as a youth was able to perform challenging piano concertos. But he was by no means interested only in solo piano performance. Already at the Leipzig Conservatory he presented chamber music with his fellow students, and chamber music accompanied him throughout his life. Over the course of the years he wrote one cello sonata, two violin sonatas, two piano quintets, one piano quartet, and two piano trios – all of them initially for his own concert appearances. When Schumann moved to Berlin in 1900 to assume the post of director of the Sing-Akademie, he immediately founded a piano trio with the violinist Carl Halir and the cellist Hugo Dechert and went on tour with it. He had composed his first trio while still in Bremen, where he had served as conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra. He wrote his second trio in 1916 – a work saturated with melodies and of fully matured late romanticism. Reger.
