Robert Schumann is one of the most important composers of the Romantic period. With the pieces included in this volume, young players can make their first experiences with romantic piano music , Schumann's piano movement is very varied and imaginative. He constantly invents various technical characters.
The first tracks from the album for youth, which he composed for his children, are easy, the following are for the somewhat advanced piano player, whose hand is already somewhat larger. The use of the pedal, the expressive playing and the differentiation of melody and accompaniment can be learned well here. Schumann's poetic headlines for these little pieces may inspire the player's imagination in musical design , but the editor's metronome details are suggestions that can be individually adapted to the player's abilities and the character of the music.
