Composed as theme with variations the juvenile beat of this Adagio is a quasi Larghetto. The piano accompaniment shows chromatic lines of some originality. Fanny Hensel leaves behind the classical and romantic sense of scales and seems to envision tone colour instead.
“The Adagio is a real gem: heartfelt, single movement, which I much enjoy”. Diane Ambache in: Harpsichord and Fortepiano Vol 16 Nr. 1, 2011
