This book was exactly what I was looking for! Great for beginners, but there are also challenging songs thrown in for the more advanced. This is the version I'd recommend!
Although this is titled "Album for the Young", it assumes that said young have been playing for some time, and it's definitely more advanced than I am at this point. But I will persevere. I very much like the music of Schumann.
Another great edition from Schirmer. Very cool- thank you!
Good sightreading literature for more skilled pianists.
Good paper and printing quality! I'd suggest this book as the 'entry point' to music by Schumann for a beginner (or even intermediate performers who are interested in his music and style).
These editions are taking up more and more room on my shelf. They are excellent editions. They are easy to read and aesthetically pleasing.
