She will discuss the character pieces from the middle of the nineteenth century\, around the time of Schumann and the impetus behind the explosion of “Albums for the Young” during this time. She will play pieces from Schumann’s Op. 68 and demonstrate comparable/alternate suitable works by other composers such as Mosonyi\, Kullak\, Heller\, Gade\, Godard\, Karganov\, Kiel\, Köhler\, Kirchner\, and Gurlitt. Many of the pieces have programmatic titles; it is this “character” element that can be a powerful creative stimulus for the student. She has found that\, for younger students especially\, engaging imagination in response to the images and emotions suggested by the title\, can create truly magical learning experiences.[/expand]
