Album for the Young Op. 68

Robert Schumann

Notes whose lengths are equal to one-eighth the value of a whole note or half the value of a quarter note.

A type of accompaniment pattern that primarily uses major and minor triads with simple or slow-moving rhythms.

Chord tones played one note at a time that are not part of an accompaniment pattern.

Chords with alternate ordering of their tones where the root is placed either in the middle or at the top of the chord.

A time signature where the fundamental beat is subdivided in groupings of three instead of two.

Hand positions that require stretching beyond a five finger scale; usually to play intervals that are 6ths or greater.

A type of texture where the left hand plays the melody and the right hand plays the accompaniment for an extended period of time.

A technique that requires the player to pick up and move their hand to a new position; usually from a five finger scale to another.

Two notes connected together smoothly where the second note is played softer and lighter.
