Schumann - The Merry Farmer, Returning From Work | ​Fröhlicher Landmann von Der Arbeit Zurückkehrend

From Album for the Young, Op. 68 - ​Album für die Jugend
Robert Schumann was a German composer of the Romantic era, and lived from 1810 to 1856. 

The German title of this piece - Fröhlicher Landmann von Der Arbeit Zurückkehrend translates as “The Merry Farmer, Returning from Work”. It is no. 10 from a selection of pieces called Album für die Jugend, Op. 68. - or Album for the Young. 

In this piece, the melody is mainly in the left hand, so care needs to be taken to bring out the left hand and avoid drowning it out with the right hand chords. The lively, cheerful and bold character of this music is apt for the subject of the title. 

This piece was in the ABRSM grade 4 syllabus of 2017/2018. 

You can find free, public domain sheet music for this piece here.

You can listen to me playing another piano piece by Schumann here: Schumann Romance no. 2
