Curious StoryKinderszenen · Op. 15 · II

The second of the thirteen pieces in Schumann's Kinderszenen, Op. 15, composed in 1838 and published in 1839. A tune in D major with dotted rhythms and grace-note flourishes alternates with a passage in which both hands move in eighths; the second part is written out twice, closing each time with a ritardando. This edition follows the Breitkopf & Härtel first edition.
