Product description
In 1848, after finishing an album of little piano pieces for his daughter Marie, Schumann devised the plan of compiling a “children’s album”. Since then the resultant collection of 43 pieces has enjoyed unparalleled success. Schumann’s “Album for the Young” is now presented in an Urtext edition which meets the needs of performers. In addition to the famous “Advice to Young Musicians”(in German, English and a French translation by Liszt), other pieces related to this work but left unpublished during Schumann’s lifetime can be found in the appendix. For the first time this edition also includes Clara Schumann’s original pedal markings. Clara’s fingering served Ragna Schirmer as an important point of departure for her own thoughts on fingering.
Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) was a German composer and music critic. He is one of the most prominent representatives of Romanticism. He composed mainly piano music, but his work is very extensive. He has composed at least 183 songs, 4 symphonies, many instrumental concerts, a number of song cycles, cantatas, oratorios, choirs and a number of excellent chamber works.
