Schumann: Of Foreign Lands and People (Kinderszenen, Opus 15)

Remarks:

I love this song, but probably mainly because it reminds me of “My Brilliant Career” (1979) starring Judy Davis, my favourite Australian film. The song is the first of 13 pieces of “Kinderszenen” (Scenes from Childhood) that Schumann wrote in 1838, his 15th opus.
