Like a number of early compositions by Schumann, the Impromptus, Op. 5,
was considerably revised in later years. It is one of only several works
whose early and later versions are both included in the complete edition
of his works published by Breitkopf and Hartel. Brahms, co-editor with
Clara Schumann of this edition, was probably responsible for the inclusion
of the two separate versions, recognizing the distinct virtues of the first,
possibly even its superiority to the second. [TRUNCATED]
