Tune of the Day: The Happy Farmer

by Robert Schumann, arranged for flute and piano

This piece is taken from Schumann's Album for the Young (Album für die Jugend), a masterful set of 43 short, easy piano pieces. The “Happy Farmer, Returning from Work” is one of the most popular pieces in the collection, probably because of the joy and innocence it exudes.

Thanks to Małgorzata from Poland for suggesting this piece!
