Summary/Abstract: Robert Schumann (1801-1856) was one of the most important composers of the romantic period and his Op. 129 A Minor Violoncello Concerto is one of the most important works of cello repertoire, and it is frequently performed by interpreters. What makes the work so important in the cello repertoire from the past to the present is that the concerto is the only cello concerto written by Robert Schumann throughout his life, and the concerto has a reflection of the original musical language of the last period of the composer's life. Due to lack of adequate academic studies about Robert Schumann’s Op. 129 A Minor Cello Concerto in Turkey, main goal of this study is to create a source about the Op. 129 Cello Concerto and to make comparative analysis about the interpretation techniques for researchers and interpreters who will perform Schumann’s Op. 129 Cello Concerto. In this study, the importance of A Minor Violoncello Concerto in the cello repertoire has been emphasized from historical perspective of the composer’s life and formal aspects.
