Märchenerzählungen

132, is a trio composition by Robert Schumann in four movements for clarinet (violin ad libitum), viola and piano.

The composer was interested in the "picturesque and the fanciful", but left no link to specific fairy tales, as for his earlier Märchenbilder, Op.

)[2] The pieces were first performed privately by Clara as the pianist, the violist Ruppert Becker and the clarinetist Johann Kochner.

[2] The compositions were published by Breitkopf & Härtel shortly afterwards, and Schumann could present the first copy to the dedicatee, Albert Dietrich, in February 1854.

The second movement, to be played "lively and strongly stressed rhythms", frames a lyrical section with march music of "a distinct rustic flavour".
