First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Schumann turns imitation into an intimate conversation in Small Song in the Style of a Canon. A gently rising melody is echoed by another voice, while sustained tones and shifting harmonies bind the lines together. The opening repeated section alternates rising phrases with falling replies and sudden softening after accented chords. A contrasting passage introduces a three-sharp key signature and more closely overlapping lines. The opening material returns, expands into stronger exchanges, then subsides into a very quiet ending with widely spaced, rolled chords. Interesting fact: the closing chords briefly interrupt the flowing dialogue with silence between gestures, giving this imitative song a surprisingly spare farewell.
