Robert Schumann: Kinderszenen Kinderszenen was one of the projects Schumann worked on during the spring of 1838 to get through a difficult period of separation from his fiancée,
Clara Wieck, who was on tour as a pianist and whose father objected to the idea of her marriage to the composer. In March of that year, Schumann wrote to Clara, "I have been waiting for your letter and have in the meantime filled several books with pieces.... You once said to me that I often seemed like a child, and I suddenly got inspired and knocked off around 30 quaint little pieces....
I selected several and titled them Kinderszenen. You will enjoy them, though you will need to forget that you are a virtuoso when you play them."
The collection, perhaps the most popular of Schumann´s compositions, captures the innocence of childhood and evokes its feelings and dreams in a quite wonderful way. The seventh piece of the set, Träumerei is one of the most famous piano pieces ever written: it exists in myriad forms and transcriptions, and has been a favourite encore of many pianists.

Schumann Scenes from Childhood suggestions - please August 12, 2010, 08:24:13 PM by percycat

Hello Everyone, This is my first post. : )
I am learning #1 (Of Foreign Lands and People) and #7 (Traumerei) and would like a recommendation for 3rd or maybe a fourth piece to play with these two as a collection. I think I would like play number #7 last because it has a definite ending sound. I assume I will play #1 first.
A first thought would be to play #12 (Child Falling Asleep), but I am open any suggestions. I think they are all within my playing ability, although some are clearly more challenging to play than others.
I look forward to hearing your recommendations! Percycat
