1 little grace note

Posted on December 12, 2011 with 0 comments

I have recently added Schumann's "Traumerei" to my repertoire. I love the beauty and the simplicity of this piece.

The melody is so timeless. My absolute most favorite part of the piece is the grace-note pick-up to measure 18.

I begin to play the piece and I'm thinking I can't wait until I get to that grace-note. But wait! I don't want to miss the beauty and the enjoyment of playing the piece so I have to hold back and wait for my most favorite little note.

Why it's the same note  with which the piece begins. Why in the world does the same key in measure 17 mesmerize me?

It's inexplainable and perhaps that why it is all the more interesting.
