A Little Romance presents a tender melody above softly pulsing inner chords. Schumann repeatedly lets the phrase swell and then retreat, creating an intimate song with brief flashes of stronger emotion.
The opening phrases share a lilting dotted rhythm and closely related contours. A forceful chordal episode interrupts this quiet flow, then releases into the familiar melody. The contrast returns once more before the music diminishes to a sparse, very soft ending.
Interesting fact: the final gesture leaves out much of the earlier chordal filling, so the romance ends with a thinner texture than it began.
