Schumann's New Year's Eve closes this part of Album for the Young with a warm A-major song. A rising melody, gently shifting bass line, and sudden swells give the music a reflective but animated character.
The opening phrases grow from a short upbeat into fuller chords, with dotted rhythms and tied notes softening the regular pulse. In the repeated second section, rising chords meet descending lines and chromatic harmonies before the familiar melodic shape returns with richer support.
Interesting fact: the two endings serve different purposes: the first leads back into the repeated passage, while the final ending settles on a long A-major chord marked with a fermata.
