From spirited games to sleeping and dreaming, Kinderszenen captures the joys and sorrows of childhood in a series of musical snapshots. Schumann described the titles as "nothing more than delicate hints for execution and interpretation". The Kinderszenen are a touching tribute to the eternal, universal memories and feelings of childhood from a nostalgic adult perspective; unlike a number of Schumann's collections of piano character pieces (e.g.Album for the Young,Op.68), the Kinderszenen are not intended to be played by children. Schumann claimed that the picturesque titles attached to the pieces were added as an afterthought in order to provide subtle suggestions to the player, a model Debussy followed decades later in his Preludes. Almost all of the Kinderszenen are miniature ternary (ABA) forms. Scene No. 1, "Von fremden Ländern und Menschen" (Of Foreign Lands and People), which is featured in this video opens with a lovely melody whose basic motivic substance, by appearing in several vague guises throughout many of the other pieces, serves as a general unifying element.

the huge popularity of op.15 compared to op 9 + op 26, or op 6 and op 13 exemplifies that virtuosity fortunately does not seem the sole criteria of good piano music for the vast majority.

What do you think about Van Cliburn's performance?

[@tedgrant2]

These pieces are described "easy", so why do I have such trouble playing them, after 50 years of practise?

[@esdrasdemorais]

I've been studying for more one year and I think very hard!

[@Mar-enfrance]

Totally agree! 😊

(search for the famous vernacular-culture-based cartoon "McDull", we actually have a Cantonese version for this piece of music)

[@gladyschua2953]

Is this a romantic piece?

[@erzelles]

[@diadarko]

why not

[@johnp.9879]

It is supposed to be, but i'm not very sure because of this performance th-cam.com/video/zdnMdtiI31A/w-d-xo.html

[@vivvpprof]

Of course, Schumann was a romantic. What else should it be?
