Arranger's Note: "The first 'thought' reflects the mood of Robert Schumann as loving father rather than as Romantic tone poet. The second 'thought,' Two Roses, by the great 20th century composer Bela Bartok, represents Bartok's setting of a children's folk song he collected in East Europe in the early 1900's. Bartok, like Schumann, wrote songs and pieces for his own as well as the world's children."
