About Robert Schumann's 3 Sonatas for the Young
The Three Sonatas for the Young were composed in 1853, but not published until twenty years after Schumann’s death. Each bears a dedication to Schumann’s three eldest daughters; the first to Julia (born in 1841), the second to Elise (born in 1843) and the third to Maria (born in 1845).
