Wild Rider

by Robert Schumann

An intermediate piece from the Romantic period, in A minor, and about 29 seconds to play.

About this edition

The eighth piece of the Album fur die Jugend -- Schumann's own galloping "Wilder Reiter" (Wild Rider), a well-known companion showpiece to No. 10's "Merry Peasant" within the same collection.

Keep the galloping left-hand rhythm crisp and even before adding speed -- this is a piece that rewards a slow, metronomic start far more than most in this batch.
