Album for the Young, Op. 68
This collection of children's pieces was inspired by Schumann's children and family life. Numerous selections from Album for the Young have long been favorites of intermediate students, and few collections fail to include The Soldier's March, The Happy Farmer or The Wild Horseman. This historically informed edition of the entire collection, edited by Willard A. Palmer, clearly differentiates the markings of the first edition from Clara Schumann's later-edited version. Discussions of ornamentation and the collection's origin are also included. All editorial suggestions and additions are in light print. Titles include: The Stranger; The Horseman; Rustic Song; Figured Chorale; Mignon; The Wild Rider; Hunting Song; Sailors' Song; The Poor Orphan; Knecht Ruprecht; Little Fugue; Echoes from the Theater; Folk Song; Harvest Song; Theme; First Sorrow; The Reaper's Song; Soldiers' March; Wintertime II; Italian Mariners' Song; A Little Canon; Sicilienne; Melody; Song of War; Roundelay; Humming Song; The Happy Farmer; New Year's Eve; Wintertime I; A Little Piece; Sheherazade; Chorale; Gathering of the Grapes -- Happy Time!; Northern Song; Remembrance; Little Romance; Little Etude; May, Sweet May and Spring Song.
