Schumann’s first published composition with education intent was Op.68, Album for the Young. The incredible popularity of Op.68 inspired Schumann to write more instructive pieces; out of that inspiration came Three Piano Sonatas for the Young, Op.118. The three sonatas are considered to be character pieces written about his three eldest daughters Marie, Elise, and Julie. The movements of Op.118 are quite long compared to Schumann’s other educational works, yet easily maintain the attention and enthusiasm of younger musicians.
