🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Album fur die Jugend No.21 in C-Dur Op.68-21

This is a concise and intimate miniature in which two voices proceed as if in dialogue. Its writing is centered on a canon, with the later voice following the melody first presented by the other, allowing the musical flow to be passed naturally within short phrases. The appeal lies in the changing sonority created as the same material overlaps and in the gentle sense of unity leading toward the close. In performance, bring out each voice clearly and listen carefully to the transfer of the melody, maintaining an unhurried, singing breath. It is also important not to overemphasize the inner voice, preserving overall balance and a soft legato.
