Composed during a tumultuous period in the life of the master composer, Album Of The Young has since become essential repertoire for the Piano student. The full album comprises 43 short pieces, of which 15 have been carefully selected for this Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Edition. With the specific aim of providing didactic works that offered more than repetitive keyboard drills, these pieces are rich in the soaring melodies and enchanting harmonies that characterise Schumann's larger compositions, making them the perfect choice for intermediate piano students of any age. Edited by Jennifer Linn who also performs all fifteen selections on the accompanying CD.
