Scenes From Childhood

The title is borrowed from the English translation of Robert Schumann's Kinderszenen Op.15. Schumann's work contains 13 momvements that are adult reminiscences of his own childhood, whereas this work is not specifically autobiographical, although there are some elements of this piece that are drawn on personal experience/memories. The five movements are: Changing The Guard; Ballet Shoes & Tutus; The Circus Troupe; Magic Lamps & Flying Carpents; The Toy Shop.
