Clara Schumann’s Four Character Pieces, Op. 5
I was really struck by Schumann’s use of rhythm. In some sections, there is a fast dance rhythm. Immediately, I recall the fandango rhythm in Schumann’s Piano Sonata in F# minor, Op. 11 from our past listening assignment. Interestingly, I’ve found that the two pieces were written in the same year, 1835. Could this mean that perhaps Clara is responding to Robert’s sonata since the piece was dedicated to her?
