The level of difficulty of this simplified piano accompaniment is very high. The piano writing by the composer Clara Schumann is very complex, but the possibilities for reduction are limited. With this arrangement, Philip Lehmann makes it possible to play the accompaniment even without studying the piano. In the third movement, the present form of notation was chosen in order to offer the most manageable options possible, depending on the performer's ability: Accompaniment with the bass note only, chordally on the main beat or with tremolo in the specified rhythm. The rhythmic structure is notated from the first bar in order to preserve these rhythmic peculiarities (quintuplets, semiquaver rests) of the accompaniment in the right hand. The greatest possible simplifications should nevertheless be quickly recognisable.
Level of difficulty 4: Compared to the original, the piano part is greatly simplified, but can still be practised by amateurs
