Schumann: Scenes from Childhood, Opus 15

Schumann: Scenes from Childhood, Opus 15 (Book)

By Robert Schumann / ed. Willard A. Palmer

Whereas Schumann composed the Album for the Young for children, his Scenes from Childhood (Kinderszenen) are reflections of childhood for adults. Like many of his character pieces, Schumann notes that the 13 selections in this set were composed before their titles were assigned. Palmer's scholarly edition includes a table of suggested tempos for the works taken from early editions and from the recorded performances of various artists.
