Features:

The late 1840s were an exciting, prolific time for Robert Schumann (1850-1856) and his Album for the Young represents one of his proudest achievements. The simplicity and accessibility of these piano pieces make their richness and warmth more appealing, and a delight to play. Schumann's emphasis on self-expression, his lively lyricism and his influence of poetry are all discovered here. Schumann's love for his children, particularly his oldest Marie, shines through this collection of pieces. Humorous, playful, short without sacrificing substance, this imaginitive collection is a wonderful way to introduce the pianist to this champion of the Romantic era.
