Robert Schumann (1810–1856)
Robert Schumann casts Album pour la jeunesse - 13.Mai, cher Mai, ... in E major — 2/4 time, taken Largo. It asks for hand independence, basic pedalling and some phrasing control — solidly intermediate territory.
Robert Schumann brought literary imagination and poetic titles to Romantic piano music. His "Kinderszenen", "Fantasiestücke", and "Kreisleriana" defined the character-piece genre.
In Schumann, the inner voices and subtle harmonic shading carry much of the meaning. Balance the texture so the middle voices are heard clearly, not just the melody.
