Arabeske in C Major, Op. 18

Robert Schumann composed his Arabeske during a time of forced separation from his soon-to-be wife, Clara, in 1839. It contains sweet melodies of love and longing for Clara as well as melodies of frustration and depression from both his professional life and romance. This arrangement for two marimbas captures the wistful longing Schumann experienced while composing his original work and brings these emotions to the world of percussion.
