🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： 12 Vierhandige Klavierstucke fur kleine und grosse Kinder No.11 in g-moll Op.85-11

“The Ghost Story” depicts the fanciful scene suggested by its title through exchanges of short phrases and lively rhythms. Beneath its lightness lies a sense of tension, while shifts between registers and changes in dynamics create an impression of something appearing and disappearing. One of the highlights is hearing the contrasting roles of the primo and secondo while maintaining the overall flow. In performance, avoid pressing the accents too heavily, and bring out the work’s humorous yet slightly eerie character by keeping the articulation crisp and giving the rests their proper space. The players should listen closely to one another, keep the tempo aligned, and shape the music as though each scene were changing.
