A Hymn-Tune (Choral)

by Robert Schumann

A beginner piece from the Romantic period, in G major, and about 1 minute and 40 seconds to play.

About this edition

The fourth piece of Robert Schumann's Album für die Jugend, Op. 68 (1848), titled "A Hymn-Tune (Choral)" -- a slow, hymn-like piece built almost entirely from half and whole notes in simple four-part harmony.

A calm hand-balance exercise: hold each chord evenly between the hands with no rushing -- useful as a change of pace from the faster-moving pieces earlier in this set.
