The tenth piece of Robert Schumann's Album für die Jugend, Op. 68 (1848) -- widely known in English as "The Merry Peasant" or "The Happy Farmer," one of the most recorded and recognizable pieces from the collection, with a bright, energetic running melody.
Focus on keeping the continuous eighth-note line even between the hands at tempo -- a natural stretch goal after the four simpler Op. 68 pieces earlier in this catalog batch (Nos. 1-4).
