Abstract	Schumann wrote this book in 1848, inspired by his own young children. Originally intended as part of his Album for the Young op. 68, today it is perhaps a little-known literary legacy. The precepts in this book will inform, amuse, and inspire musicians of all ages. This illustrated edition contains background on Schumann's writings and his life, and celebrates the 200th birth anniversary of the composer.
General note	Includes introduction (pages 3-5) and biographical information on the author (pages 41-47) by Barbara Allman.
General note	"This version is based on the 1860 English translation by Henry Hugo Pierson, and uses some wording more easily accessible to modern readers, young and old."--Page 4.
