Schumann: From Album for the Young, Jaegerliedchen Op. 68 No. 7

no pedal on the start notes until you've played the intial notes (sound), then add pedal quick. otherwise - the note gets immediately blurred by the vibrations of itself.

Sam hears the ascending fourths at the beginning and tells me something along the lines that I (the fox, we do a lot of fantasy role play) better watch out because the hunters are out to get me.

We both concluded this is a pretty scary song for foxes.
