A character piece is indeed a type of solo piano composition that is typically short and expressive, designed to convey a specific mood, character, or theme. These works often emphasize individuality and emotional depth, showcasing the composer's unique style and the performer's interpretative skills. Character pieces can range from lyrical and introspective pieces to lively and spirited compositions. They were especially popular in the Romantic era, with composers such as Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, and Clara Schumann contributing many notable examples. Some well-known character pieces include Chopin's "Nocturnes," Schumann's "Carnaval," and many of the "Kinderszenen" (Scenes from Childhood) also by Schumann.
