Discussions of ornamentation and the collection's origin are also included. This historically informed edition of the entire collection clearly differentiates the markings of the first edition from Clara Schumann's later-edited version. Numerous selections from Schumann's Album for the Young have long been favorites of intermediate students, and few collections fail to include the Soldier's March, the Happy Farmer or the Wild Horseman.
