Schumann Album for the Young Op 68 Henle Urtext

The Schumann Album for the Young Op. 68 Henle Urtext Edition presents the standalone edition of Schumann's 43 pedagogical pieces — the collection he composed specifically for his daughter Marie's birthday and then expanded into one of the most beloved collections of teaching pieces in the piano repertoire. The pieces progress from the simplest five-finger pieces in the opening numbers through increasingly sophisticated two-voice and then three-voice textures, providing a complete musical education in miniature form. The Henle edition is based on Schumann's own manuscript with editorial notes on ornamentation and performance.
