Davidsbündlertänze

6, is a group of eighteen pieces for piano composed in 1837 by Robert Schumann, who named them after his music society Davidsbündler.

Robert Schumann's early piano works were substantially influenced by his relationship with Clara Wieck.

On September 5, 1839, Schumann wrote to his former professor: "She was practically my sole motivation for writing the Davidsbündlertänze, the Concerto, the Sonata and the 'Novelettes'."

In the second edition of the work, Schumann removed these ascriptions and remarks and the Tänze from the title, as well as making various alterations, including the addition of some repeats.

The suite ends with the striking of twelve low Cs to signify the coming of midnight.
