Summary/Abstract: This article proposes an analytical view of the main interpretative points of the first movement of Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54. It also discusses a brief presentation of the possible influences of a compositional nature, reinterpreted according to one’s own style and artistic message. The paper analyses aspects of an interpretative nature, which the soloist encounters in the process of translating the score, starting from the construction of the thematic material, organizing and realizing the sound colour palette in relation to the continuity or complementarity with the orchestral apparatus, tempo correlations and agogics.
