Schumann Fantasiestuecke Op.12 No.4 Grillen (Whims) (4/4)

Full playlist: • Schumann: Piano Works
Played on Yamaha YDP 164
In Db major. Again we return to the dramatic and bombastic side of Schumann. The beginning starts with a pompous chordal progression. The accidental foreshadows Bb minor, but it swiftly returns to the home key. In ternary form. The middle section is more extended chord, where the music explores very remote key transition until it returns to the main theme.

Agree! I feel that this piece is very Schumannisque! This reminds me of his Novelletten No. 1, full of chordal progression.
