Album for the Young was composed by Robert Schumann in 1848 for his three daughters. The album consists of a collection of 43 short works. Unlike the Kinderszenen, they are suitable to be played by children or beginners. Bolcom, one of the most accomplished and decorated musicians of our time, first performed these pieces publicly in the 1940s.  

In February 2019, William Bolcom and Logan Skelton performed Robert Schumann's complete Album for the Young​​ at Kerrytown Concert House in Ann Arbor, MI, with a plan to record the works the week following the concert. The resulting album features performances bounding with charm and beauty.

    Posted At: February 10, 2022 12:00 AM
    What do you do when you work in recordings and one of your favorite musicians tells you that they have been harboring a dream to record pieces of music that they have been playing and thinking about for the better part of seven decades?  I am proud to say my initial reaction was the correct one: I blurted out Yes!In March 2019 I traveled from Boston to Ann Arbor to the welcoming climate of Michigan (I ...
