Well written arrangement!

It is always going to be tricky working on a very well known piece, getting all the nuances of the original masterwork. Keith has done an excellent job in this 'Scenes from Childhood'. I realise the the price tag may seem a little high; but as this includes the parts as well and the work of two well known composers, I think it is a small price to pay!

This setting of 'Scenes from Childhood' is for a classical wind quintet, and is an arrangement transcribed from the original solo piano piece from Schumann's Kinderszenen Opus 15.

I hope my transcription will offer wind quintets a new work to add to their repertoire, especially school and college groups looking to expand their library.

Below are listed the complete movements of Schumann's work, with the original keys,I have changed the keys; to make the arrangement more playable and practical for Wind Quintets.




Von fremden L�ndern und Menschen (Of Foreign Lands and Peoples), G major
Kuriose Geschichte (A Curious Story), D major
Hasche-Mann (Blind Man's Bluff), B minor
Bittendes Kind (Pleading Child), D major
Gl�ckes genug (Happiness), D major
Wichtige Begebenheit (An Important Event), A major
Tr�umerei (Reverie), F major
Am Kamin (At the Fireside), F major
Ritter vom Steckenpferd (Knight of the Hobbyhorse), C major
Fast zu ernst (Almost Too Serious), G-sharp minor
F�rchtenmachen (Frightening), E minor
Kind im Einschlummern (Child Falling Asleep), E minor
Der Dichter spricht (The Poet Speaks), G major

Tr�umerei is one of Schumann's best known pieces. It was the title of a 1944 German biopic on Robert Schumann. Tr�umerei is the love song for Robert and Clara Schumann in the 1947 Hollywood film Song of Love, starring Katherine Hepburn as Clara Wiek Schumann.

Master Schumman arrangement
Ever playing at my Piano, where I had the enjoyment to perform, this music not had the beauty of this litlle arrangement. Mr Terret become my favorite compsoer to listen, when I lookiong for arrangemnt. He use the winds with high level control of each voice, using correctly the phrase and the "sound" of each instrument envolved. Must be performed in any event. Guilherme Schroeter Composer, Pianist
