“As far as the Scenes from Childhood are concerned, I owe them one of the liveliest pleasures of my life.” These words were uttered by none other than Franz Liszt. In the evenings he often enjoyed playing part of them, not only for his little daughter Blandine-Rachel but also for his own pleasure. Even today, the “Scenes from Childhood” still raise the question as to whether they were written for children or adults. Schumann himself described them as being the reminiscences of an older person for older people, but did not deny that “several children’s heads were in his mind when composing them”. Ernst Herttrich has revised our well-loved edition, incorporating the latest scholarly findings. In the appendix he also takes a stand on the metronome markings which were taken over from an early print.


"Scenes from Childhood(이하 어린이 정경)은 내 인생에 가장 생동감 있는 즐거움들 중 하나이다." 이것은 바로 프란츠 리스트의 말입니다.
리스트는 저녁마다 종종 그의 딸 Blandine-Rachel 뿐만 아니라 그 자신의 즐거움을 위해서 이 곡을 연주하곤 했습니다.
오늘날까지도 "어린이 정경"이 과연 어린이들을 위해서 쓰였는지 어른들을 위해서 쓰였는지 의문은 남아있습니다.
슈만 자신은 이 곡을 나이든 사람들의 향수라고 표현했지만 "작곡을 할 때 몇몇 아이들의 생각이 그의 마음 속에 있었다"는 사실을 부인하지 않았습니다.
