Five Pieces in Folk Style
Composition by Robert Schumann / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Schumann's Five Pieces in Folk Style (German: Fünf Stücke im Volkston), Op. 102 is a set of five short pieces for cello and piano, composed in 1849 and published in 1851 with a dedication to cellist Andreas Grabau [de]. It was Schumann's only published work designed explicitly for performance by cello and piano, though the pieces also appeared in a version prepared by Schumann for violin and piano. The first edition's title page reads "ad libitum violine".

Another set of five pieces for piano and cello were composed by Schumann in 1853, and performed privately to acclaim; but the pieces never appeared in print and were destroyed in 1893 by Clara, who considered them the inferior product of madness.[1]
