Knight Rupert, Op 68, No. 12 (Album for the Young) by Schumann with Tutorial

Описание: The Knight Rupert requires drama and drive, but is highly effective in performance. The simultaneous 16th-note passages and the rapid inner notes of measures 37-39 and 45-48 require attention. Knecht Ruprecht was a German legendary figure who came at Christmas to punish children for misbehaving. Some editions refer to this character as St. Nicholas, but in fact there is little similarity (Jane Magrath).
