Gurlitt Albumleaves for the Young, Opus 101 (CD Included)

Gurlitt’s collection of accessible, charming works for the intermediate pianist provides an excellent introduction to Romantic repertoire of the mid-19th century, and highlights that period’s signature solo piano form, the character piece. Gurlitt’s miniatures show the influence of Robert Schumann, yet these solos nonetheless display an individuality and freshness all their own.
