Robert Schumann's ''Fantasiestücke'', Op. 12, is a set of eight pieces for piano, written in 1837. The title was inspired by the 1814 collection of novellas ''Fantasiestücke in Callots Manier'' by one of his favourite authors, E. T. A. Hoffmann. Schumann dedicated the pieces to Fräulein Anna Robena Laidlaw, an accomplished and attractive 18-year-old Scottish pianist with whom Schumann had become good friends.〔J. C. Hadden, ‘Laidlaw , Anna Robena Keddy (1819–1901)’, rev. Anne Pimlott Baker, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2008 (accessed 28 Jan 2015 )〕 Schumann composed the pieces with the characters Florestan and Eusebius in mind, representing the duality of his personality. Eusebius depicts the dreamer in Schumann while Florestan represents his passionate side. These two characters parlay with one another throughout the collection, ending self-reflectively with Eusebius in "Ende vom Lied". ==Details== 1.
