Knight of the HobbyhorseOp. 15 No. 9

Difficulty 6
C major
1 min
24 measures

The ninth of the thirteen pieces in Schumann's Kinderszenen, Op. 15, composed in 1838 and published in 1839. A hobby-horse ride in C major: in every bar the right hand's chords start just after the downbeat, mostly with an accent on the third beat, while the bass holds one note for long stretches; both halves are repeated, and the second builds to fortissimo. This edition follows the Breitkopf & Härtel first edition.
