🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Kinderball Ecossaise Op.130-4

This lively Ecossaise for piano four hands is marked by a light rhythmic character and an appealing melody. Within its concise span, it maintains the forward motion of a dance; listening for the exchange of melodic material and the changes in harmony allows the musical flow to be enjoyed with greater depth. In performance, it is important to keep the meter clear without letting the touch become heavy. When the players coordinate their breathing, allow the melodic part to emerge naturally, and keep the accompanying part light and supportive, the music takes on a bright atmosphere suggestive of a children’s ball.
