Robert Schumann's '''Fantasiestücke''', Op. 12, are eight pieces for piano, written in
1837. Schumann is said to have perceived in ''In der Nacht'' the story of
Hero and Leander, albeit not until after writing it. The individual pieces' names and keys are as follows:
[1]
# ''Des Abends'' (The Evening) in D-flat major / Sehr innig zu spielen (Play very intimately)
# ''Aufschwung'' (Soaring) in F minor / Sehr rasch (Very rapidly)
# ''Warum?'' (Why?) in D-flat major / Langsam und zart (Slowly and tenderly)
# ''Grillen'' (Whims) in D-flat major / Mit Humor (With humor)
# ''In der Nacht'' (In the Night) in F minor / Mit Leidenschaft (With passion)
# ''Fabel'' (Fable) in C major / Langsam (Slowly)
