An intermediate piece from the Romantic period, in E minor, and about 49 seconds to play.
About this edition
The sixteenth piece of the Album fur die Jugend, "Erster Verlust" (First Grief) -- a slow, harmonically poignant minor-key miniature, one of the emotionally best-known numbers in the collection.
Voice the four-note chords so the top note (the melody) sings out above the inner voices -- balance, not speed, is the whole challenge here.
