Schumann wrote his Kinderscenen (Scenes of Childhood) in 1836. As he told Clara, he had composed thirty little pieces and from these he selected a baker's dozen, all of them designed to express an adult's memories of childhood, or, as he said in a letter to Clara, a reflection of her comment that he sometimes seemed to her as a child. The music is technically undemanding, of ingenuous simplicity, the titles self-explanatory, an outstanding example of what Schumann was able to achieve in forms as limited as this.
