Scenes of children op 15
Beethoven and Schubert, are at the origin of the kind.
Both composed formerly, of small mono-instrumental parts, twenty-four trifles for Beethoven and six Moments musical for Schubert.
But what differentiates Schumann from its elder, it is the choice monothematic of the thirteen miniatures, plunging us with delights in the universe of childhood.
However, these parts are not intended for the study of the piano, they are not addressed to inexpert hands.
According to the proper terms of Schumann: “These thirteen small tricks” were designed “by a large child”. In this direction he answers directly Clara in these terms:
“This Is an unconscious answer within the meaning of the words that you wrote one day to me: you make me sometimes the effect of a child! [….] It will have you to be forgotten that you are a virtuoso. [...] It will be necessary to keep you effects, but to let to you go to their very simple, natural grace and without finish.”
Each part has its own expressivity, its own delicacy. Sometimes soft and rêveuse, sometimes hopping and semi-sparkling, these thirteen compositions call with the rèves and the memories.
Only, the ninth part entitled “Almost too serious”, with its syncopated
rhythm and its many stops in point of organ, releases like a light sadness or concern.
A little later the child falls asleep, and like the supervisor in his sleep, the poet speaks.
