I learned this arrangement from the Romeros while in college at SDSU. I'm playing it from memory here & I'm not sure I've ever even seen the sheet music. I love this short beautiful piece by one of my favorite composers.

Album for the Young (Album für die Jugend), Op. 68, was composed by Robert Schumann in 1848 for his three daughters. The album consists of a collection of 43 short works. Unlike the Kinderszenen, they are suitable to be played by children or beginners. The second part, starting at Nr. 19 ("Kleine Romanze"), is marked Für Erwachsenere (For adults; For more grown-up ones) and contains more demanding pieces.
