What is “Spinning Song”?

“Spinning Song (Spinnlied / Spinnerlied)” is a short piece composed by Albert Ellmenreich; the original German title “Spinnlied” means “song of spinning.”
The sparkling sixteenth-note flow in the right hand evokes the motion of a spinning wheel, and its interplay with the left-hand chords is especially appealing.
Though short, it features fast passages and requires finger independence, making it an effective showpiece loved by players of all ages.

Practice Tips and Points

First, practice the right-hand sixteenth notes at a slower tempo, aiming for an even touch. Keep the left-hand chords light—support the texture without making the sound heavy, and watch the volume balance.
When putting both hands together, don’t let the left hand pull you off course; keep the right-hand flow steady.
For the final polish, raise the tempo slightly and keep the touch light for a sparkling, impressive performance.
