Description:
The Kinderszenen, composed in the spring of 1838, are among the best-known and most popular works in piano literature. No. 7 in particular, the Träumerei, began an unprecedented triumphal march through the musical world in the second half of the 19th century. This carefully revised edition is the first to include handwritten improvements and altered tempo markings in Schumann's hand 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 Clara Schumann's instructive edition in the metronome markings, among other things, which is why the pieces differ considerably in terms of tempo and phrasing from the previously familiar sound.
