Schumann’s Scenes from Childhood is a reflection of youth through the eyes of a grown up. Everything is smaller than we remembered. The edges are blurred by time and memory. Reminiscences are a bittersweet mixture of pain and nostalgia. We know now why some of the grownups in our lives behaved mysteriously, why promises and friendships were broken, and how we created some of our own disappointments. We know now that we can’t live the past over. We can, if we choose, reflect upon it with compassion and forgiveness.
