Schumann: Op. 15, no. 6: Important Event

Schumann Op. 15, no. 6 Important Event (Wichtige Begebenheit)
This piece has the character of a processional, albeit a rather quickly paced one. Be careful to slur the the chord on the third beat to the chord on the downbeat. Also note that the middle section is to be played louder than the outer ones. With the booming octaves in the left hand and the accents and volume indicated throughout, this is a true embodiment of Schumann’s fiery Florestan side.
