By Robert Schumann / ed. Willard A. Palmer

A favourite piano piece from “Album for the Young,” Knight Rupert is an excellent example of the short romantic compositions of German composer Robert Schumann. Finger dexterity and independence are especially important in the “B” section, and attention to accents and phrasing will add excitement to the musical story of the legendary knight who was supposed to appear on Christmas to reprimand children for their misbehaviour. This edition is based on Schumanns Autograph of this work.
