First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.From Foreign Lands and People opens Schumann's Scenes from Childhood with a quiet, wondering melody in G major. A gently rising broken-chord figure moves underneath, giving the music a soft, continuous flow. The opening phrase reaches upward before answering with a dotted descending figure. A contrasting passage adds fuller upper harmonies and a more expressive bass line while keeping the same flowing accompaniment. After a brief hesitation, the first melody returns and gradually settles into a very quiet ending. Interesting fact: the accompaniment crosses between the written staves, yet remains a continuous line beneath the longer notes of the melody.
