Robert Alexander Schumann often composed fantastical works that did not easily fit into formal frameworks such as the sonata. However, his Piano Sonata No. 2 is a compactly structured, sonata-like piece. For this reason, it is sometimes said to lack the characteristic Schumann flair compared to his Sonatas No. 1 and No. 3. Nevertheless, it is a clear work where Schumann's dramatic energy explodes all at once. While the first, third, and fourth movements are all restless and intensely progressing music at a rapid tempo, the second movement, in contrast, quietly overflows with Schumann's characteristic enchanting lyricism. The overall structure of the piece is ingeniously constructed. It was composed between 1833 and 1838.
