This guitar piece is suitable for a beginner, although
the staccato may be found to be a challenge. The last
two chords are to be arpeggiated. The tempo is marked
as "Alla Marcia" which means "in the style of a march",
as with most marches the time signature is 2/4. The

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) was a German composer who
worked during the Romantic era. He had initially chosen
to study law, but altered his path after attending a
concert by the violinist Niccolo Paganini. His teacher
Friedrich Wieck was so impressed with his skills that
he believed that Schumann could be one of the finest
virtuoso pianists in Europe. His hopes of attaining
this goal were dashed after sustaining a serious injury
to his hand. Thereafter Schumann decided to focus his
energy on becoming a composer instead. In his twenties
he wrote exclusively for the piano, but later he
composed works in many other genres including Lieder
(songs for voice and piano), four symphonies, choral
and chamber works.
