Grillen (german for 'whims') is the fourth piece of Robert Schumann's Fantasiestucke. It is preceded by Warum? and is followed by In der Nacht. Mit Humor is the tempo marking of the work, indicating that it should be performed 'with humor'. Like the previous piece, this work is also in D-flat major. With its whimsical, quirky nature, this piece solely represents Florestan and his eccentricities. [1]
