Collections of miniature pieces became very popular during the romantic period with composers like Robert Schumann or Edvard Grieg publishing a number of such compositions. Contrary to what the title might suggest, there is nothing small about these pieces as they convey profound and intimate thoughts, ideas, or emotions. Goedicke's Opus 8 is a wonderful set with 10 miniatures that are also short studies to explore specific technical challenges. This piece is a study primarily in balance and coordination between right and left hands.
