While generally uninterested in Hummel as a composer, Robert Schumann had made a close study of the A minor concerto in 1828 and considered it one of the works (along with the F-sharp minor piano sonata) of his "heyday".
Although not particularly fond of Hummel's music, Robert Schumann devoted considerable time to studying the A minor concerto in 1828 and considered it among the finest works (in addition to the F-sharp minor piano sonata) of his most productive period.
