Florestan und Eusebius

Schumann's two literary alter egos: Florestan the passionate, extrovert, and impulsive; Eusebius the introspective, dreamy, and tender. Many of his pieces are signed with one name or the other.

Identify whether a given piece is Florestanian (driven, accented, outward) or Eusebian (inward, soft, lyrical) and let that character govern your interpretive choices throughout. Avoid mixing the two within a single piece unless the music itself demands it.
