Robert Schumann - Album Leaves

By 1854, the year this collection was organized and published, Schumann´s life, health, mind, and career were in complete disarray.
The “Albumblätter” are basically uneven pieces, composed between around 1832 and 1845, which the composer had rejected from earlier character-piece collections.
Nevertheless, the set contains some very beautiful and touching moments and invokes a rich and varied musical world.
