🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Die Davidsbundlertänze Op.6

This collection brings together 18 short dances in two books. The character changes markedly from one piece to the next, with the contrasting temperaments associated with Florestan and Eusebius emerging as both lively momentum and inward lyricism. Each dance has its own appeal, while the larger flow of the complete set also deserves careful attention. In performance, it is important to clarify subtle rhythmic flexibility and the passing of ideas between voices, while maintaining a balance that keeps the melodies from being obscured. Carefully distinguishing the changes of character between pieces allows the work’s great variety to come fully to life.
