Schumann Op 15 Nr 6

another one

This is played very beautifully, with a very nice tone. It sounds great and romantic. But somehow to me there is not enough excitement in it, the excitement of a child that badly wants to tell about a *very important event*, immediately, bubbling over

[quantum]

My immediate reaction to your reaction.  Is this bubblier?

Hi quantum,

Both of your renditions work quite well, but I like the second one better, as it not only gives the hearer the sense of occasion, but also infuses it with the personal excitement of the observing child.  I believe one is as central to the musical idea as the other.  Very nicely played!  You served the composer very well.

My immediate reaction to your reaction.  Is this bubblier?

Ohh yes, definitely. I like that one very much

[quantum]

Thanks rachfan and wolfi for your input.

My idea for the first one was more of a stately occasion, but I guess for a child that isn't as important as being filled with instantaneous glee over seemingly mundane events in everyday life.  Like when the icecream truck rolls by.   

[pianistimo]

very cool!  i never thought of it in this way - but it makes much more sense than a child sitting thru something that was far from 'important' and daydreaming.  which would be what would happen if it was too slow.
