Here is a collection of sixteen songs arranged for performance by a solo pianist. The songs convey a huge range of musical emotions and provide an excellent example of the Romantic genre. The collection offers an addition to the piano repertoire, similar in style to Schumann's Kinderscenen. The melody line has been woven into the texture of the original piano accompaniment, trying where possible to keep the melody in the baritone register. This presents a challenge to the pianist; to generate a well balanced sound, and to convey the subtly changing moods of the music.
