The poet speaks - Schumann

[rubanetti]

Here i show you this piece, i have play sometimes, but never studing it a lot. I try to follow the music instead of just reading and playing it, imagine a poet speaking while i play. I hope you like the result:

Not bad.  But I think it would have come across better on a real piano.  How do you feel those opening chords on an electric keyboard?  They were static and separate.  To me it's like a curtain lifting.  LIke an unfolding.  This "children's" piece is by no means easy,  because you have so little to work with.  But I still think your keyboard had a lot to do with it.

Thanks for your presenting this piece which always gently gets in one's deepest emotional heart. Schumann often "summed up" his major works with little sympathetic homey endings like this one, by no means simple or simplistic, but profound afterthoughts of an honest and musicianly genius. Yes, many people pass by Schumann, but he is in the constellation of the Greats -- always.
