Schumann: Consolidated Album for the Young (1-18)

I gave this the ultimate test: Sam (3.5 years old) approved enthusiastically over breakfast and asked for it as his bedtime music. I shall do the rest at some point and probably practice this some more. I must say, after listening to it a little bit, and contrary to what I had been reading, this seems to be a very cohesive set of pieces.

I have not gotten to the nitty-gritty, but I suspect there are literary and probably motivic threads braiding the whole thing together.

I hope you enjoy this. Comments are welcome (Susan, thanks for yours, keep them coming. I must say you never tell me something I would have thought of myself, so it is always nice to hear from you, even when I think you are totally off!)
