Yep, that's me ;D

And no, I think the grace note is going in the wrong direction. In fact, I don't know what possessed me to write what I did, but in the first take there were only a few that could be done nicer. They're generally fine! I apologise for misleading you :-[

Curiously, mine isn't necessarily any better, but ;D

I like both interpretations, prongated's and your's.

There is one word in German which describes much of what Schumann wanted and what both of you actually display, it's the word "innig". ( =~heartfelt)
