Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. A charming wartime Belwin edition of one of Robert Schumann's most beloved piano miniatures, Träumerei (Dreaming) from Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood), Op. 15. First composed in 1838, this lyrical masterpiece remains one of the most enduring works in the Romantic piano repertoire, celebrate…d for its graceful melody and expressive simplicity. This attractive 'Edition Beautiful' publication is firmly dated by the 1944 Belwin copyright printed on the rear cover and features the publisher's distinctive green pictorial landscape cover, making it an appealing collectible as well as a practical performance edition. An especially desirable feature is the inclusion of period publisher advertisements that provide a fascinating glimpse into mid-century American music education. The inside page promotes The Musical Globe Trotter - Ten Volumes of Immortal Melodies, arranged by Henri Weber, while the rear cover advertises Belwin educational editions of The Maiden's Wish (Chopin, arranged by John W. Schaum) and Knight Rupert (Schumann, arranged by John W. Schaum). These original promotional pages add historical context and enhance the piece's appeal to collectors of vintage sheet music and music publishing ephemera. Condition is Very Good. The illustrated cover remains bright and attractive with light edge wear, minor corner rubbing, and gentle age toning consistent with age. Staple binding is secure, and the interior is complete with clean music pages showing only light handling wear and no significant tears, loose pages, or heavy markings observed. A well-preserved example suitable for pianists, teachers, and collectors alike.
