Album for the Young

Riddles, fairy tales, there was seemingly no end of the parlor tricks he knew how to provide on the spur of the moment for the tots.

This deep understanding of children and their psychology was bound sooner or later to find artistic expression and lovely embodiment in music like the Kinderszenen and the Album for the Young, the one with its Träumerei, the other with its Happy Farmer.

His grown-up friends he endeavored to choose only among people who genuinely interested him and who shared his tastes.

Persons who could not partake his high-flown enthusiasm for Jean Paul or for Bach amounted almost to mortal enemies.
