🇩🇪Robert Schumann ： Kinderball Rondo Op.130-6

This lively rondo for piano four hands brings the collection *Kinderball (Six Easy Dances)* to a close. A familiar theme returns at intervals, while contrasting passages create variety and movement between its appearances. It is important to maintain a buoyant rhythm while keeping the overall form in view, using each return of the theme as a point of orientation. The two players should coordinate their sense of pulse and articulation, while paying close attention to balance when the melody passes between the parts. Light touch and clear phrasing help bring out the playful character of this dance.
