Tonstücke (6), Op. 37 is a collection of six pieces for piano composed by Danish composer J. P. E. Hartmann. The collection was composed in 1861 and premiered the same year in Copenhagen. The first movement, "Allegro con fuoco," is a lively and energetic piece with a strong sense of rhythm and a driving melody. The second movement, "Andante con moto," is a slower, more contemplative piece with a lyrical melody and a sense of introspection. The third movement, "Allegro vivace," is a playful and light-hearted piece with a bouncy, dance-like rhythm. The fourth movement, "Andante sostenuto," is a more somber and melancholic piece with a mournful melody and a sense of longing. The fifth movement, "Allegro moderato," is a more restrained and introspective piece with a delicate melody and a sense of introspection. The final movement, "Allegro con brio," is a lively and energetic piece with a strong sense of rhythm and a driving melody, bringing the collection to a rousing conclusion. Overall, Tonstücke (6), Op. 37 is a collection of pieces that showcases Hartmann's skill as a composer and his ability to create a variety of moods and emotions through his music. The collection is characterized by its strong sense of rhythm, lyrical melodies, and introspective themes, and is a testament to Hartmann's place as one of Denmark's most important composers of the 19th century.
