Description
Written in 1827, the Kindermarsch, or Children's March, is a charming, approachable piece with a melody suited to its title. Within the steady tread typical of a march, playful and light-hearted touches emerge throughout. At about three minutes, it is a compact, endearing work.
Marches defined by their strong, steady rhythm, spanning from Bach's keyboard works to Sousa's popular American marches.
About the Composer
Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Franz Schubert was a Vienna-born composer who died at only 31 but left behind a vast body of work, especially in the field of Lieder. Known for his gift for melody and subtle modulation, songs such as "Erlkonig" remain widely performed today. His piano works, including the Impromptus, are equally rich in lyricism. This site includes 120 of his works, such as Impromptus, "Erlkonig," and the "Hungarian Melody."
