Song: "Schilderung eines Mädchens"; "Schildern, willst du Freund, soll ich dir

Biamonti 7; WoO 107
A strange little tune that almost seems a sketch for something else, all of 20 measures in a seemingly hybrid form, that amazingly, perhaps as a result of this brevity, still manages to sound so well put together. A dramatic moment at the rapid jarring diminished B is followed by an ending that seems new, yet has a closing function. Apparently it originally appeared in 1783 in Boßler's weekly musical magazine Blumenlese für Klavierliebhaber. Lockwood calls it "derivative."
