Short Study

by Robert Schumann

An early-intermediate piece from the Romantic period, in G major, and about 1 minute and 27 seconds to play.

About this edition

The fourteenth piece of the Album fur die Jugend -- literally titled "Kleine Studie" (Short Study), a genuine finger-evenness etude built from continuous eighth-note motion rather than a character piece.

The whole point of this piece is a perfectly even, quiet touch across every single eighth note -- resist any urge to accent the beat.
