Schumann's studies in counterpoint during 1845 climaxed in what he described as a 'Fugenpassion'. He rented a pedalboard attachment for his piano to extend his music's textural possibilities and to help familiarise himself with organ technique. The resulting character pieces are amongst the most attractive examples for this instrument, and they translate so successfully to the organ that they have become a significant cornerstone of the repertoire.
