*** (Album for the Young No. 30)
The 30th piece in Schumann’s Album for the Young is one of the composer’s most intimate and tender short pieces, full of harmonic and contrapuntal refinement. Although it is technically accessible to intermediate pianists, it is musically rewarding for more advanced players as well. This From the Ground Up edition delves deeply into the expressive subtleties of the score, with exercises designed to help players experience its musical emotions directly, and develop their own interpretations.
