Blooming JoyFlowers played an important role in the lives of people of the 19th century - picking them, binding them to wreaths, giving them as messages of friendship and love, using them to ornament a room or clothing, belonged to the forms of general sociability. It is within this context that Clara Schumann's flower diaries can be viewed: The first of the series was created in 1854, the year of Robert Schumann's admission to the Endenich mental institution, and was intended to share her inner and outer life with the initially personally unavailable invalid. In 1857, the meanwhile nearly 40-year-old Clara Schumann began her last flower diary, barely a year and a half after her husband's death. It reflects the travel stops of the pianist who was by now increasingly concertizing throughout central Europe and England, as well as her relationships with close friends, including especially the young Johannes Brahms who had presented her with the little volume expressly for her collections and annotations. The facsimiled diary pages of the exemplar preserved in the Staatsbibliothek Berlin are supplemented by biographical and botanical comments.

This is a sequel to the highly successful Child Prodigy Composers volume. In this second volume, the majority of the pieces are works recommended for pupils in the upper music school classes, and indeed some can be used successfully in secondary level teaching as well. Here too, most of the compositions were written before the age of 14 - it is amazing what highly developed piano technique some of these young composers already possessed at the age of 13 or 14!In addition to Muzio Clementi's A flat Major Sonata, the Allemandes by Carl Maria von Weber, Schubert's surprisingly mature C minor fantasia, the prodigiously talented Clara Schumann's two polonaises, Mussorgsky'sbrilliant polka, a sensitive waltz by Scriabin and Borodin's showy (but not difficult) four-hand polka, this volume also contains works by a Hungarian composer: the hitherto unpublished mazurkas by Ern Dohnányi, written around ages 11-12.

Dies ist die Fortsetzung der Erfolgsausgabe Wunderkinder als Komponisten (EMBZ14773). In diesem zweiten Band sind mehrheitlich Werke für die höheren Klassen der Musikschulen vertreten, manche Stücke können auch in der Mittelstufe eingesetzt werden. Bemerkenswert ist, dass ein Großteil der Werke mit unter 14 komponiert wurden. Verblüffend, über welche Klaviertechnik ein Teil der dreizehn-vierzehnjährigen Komponisten schon verfügten!Neben der Sonate in As-Dur von Muzio Clementi, den Allemanden von Carl Maria von Weber, der überraschend reifen Phantasie in c-Moll von Schubert, den beiden entzückenden Polonaisen von Clara Schumann, der brillanten Polka von Mussorgsky,dem sensiblen Walzer von Skrjabin und der effektvollen, aber nicht allzu schwierigen Polka für vier Hände von Borodin, erscheinen auch in diesem Band Werke eines ungarischen Komponisten - die Erstveröffentlichungen der im Alter von elf und zwölf Jahren entstandenen Masurken und Scherzandi von Ern Dohnányi.
