Adagio and Allegro, Op. 70 - French Horn and Piano

Adagio and Allegro is one of the first works of major importance written for the valve horn. The original title was Romance and Allegro and it was composed during the first few months of 1849, a period when Schumann also composed solo works for oboe and piano, clarinet and piano, as well as the Konzertstucke for four horns and orchestra.
