late intermediate

Important event Op.15 No.6

Robert Schumann

What's this piece like?
The Kinderszenen (“Scenes from Childhood”) is a cycle of 13 short piano pieces, each representing a scene, titled at the beginning of the movement. Each scene is a touching tribute to the eternal, universal memories and feelings of childhood, seen from a nostalgic adult perspective. Contrary to what the title may suggest, the Kinderszenen are not intended to be played by children. "Important event" has a very bold and triumphant character to highlight the significance of this moment. It's a great piece to improve on block chords and octaves.
Who's this piece for?
This is a great piece for intermediate level pianists with a solid foundation and strong technique.
