Schumann, Robert - Scenes from Childhood op. 15

The "Children's Scenes", composed in the spring of 1838, are among the best-known and most popular works in the piano literature. Above all, No. 7, the "Träumerei", began an unprecedented triumphal march through the music world from the second half of the 19th century. For the first time, this carefully revised edition takes into account handwritten improvements and changed tempo indications by Schumann in one of the two surviving copies of the first edition from 1839, which came into the possession of the Robert Schumann House in Zwickau in 1994. This edition differs from the "Instructive Edition" by Clara Schumann, among other things, in the metronome markings, which is why the pieces differ considerably in terms of their tempo and phrasing from the previously familiar sound.
