Schumann-Selections from Album for the Young Op. 6-M-Bolton

Album for the Young, Op. 68 is an arrangement of four selections from Robert Schumann's original piano collection, arranged for 4-mallet marimba by Calvin Bolton and published by C. Alan Publications. The four pieces, Humming Tune, Soldier's March, Choral, and A Little Piece, are well suited for performance for general audiences unfamiliar with the marimba and its literature. The arrangements employ basic techniques including single dependent strokes and double verticals, without the added challenge of difficult rhythms or time signatures.
