First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.This untitled piece from Schumann's Album for the Young unfolds as a slow, intimate song in F major. Dotted melodic figures rise above sustained chords and gently moving inner voices, allowing small changes of harmony to carry much of the expression. The opening presents related phrases in a quiet, unhurried flow. A contrasting passage introduces darker, flat-colored harmonies and more active lines beneath the melody, briefly broadening before the opening idea returns. Later appearances of these passages alter the bass and inner voices, leading to a quiet F-major close. Interesting fact: Schumann gives this piece a number rather than a character title; its recurring dotted figure supplies a recognizable identity as the surrounding harmonies change.
