Album for the Young, Op. 43 is a collection of 24 short piano pieces composed by Lowell Liebermann in 1986. The work was premiered by the composer himself on October 26, 1986, at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. The pieces in the album are divided into three movements. The first movement consists of 12 pieces, the second movement has 6 pieces, and the third movement has 6 pieces. Each piece is relatively short, with most lasting between one and two minutes. The first movement is characterized by its playful and whimsical nature. The pieces are light and cheerful, with titles such as "The Clown," "The Merry-go-round," and "The Swing." The second movement is more introspective and contemplative, with titles such as "The Dreamer," "The Lament," and "The Solitary Dancer." The third movement returns to the playful and whimsical nature of the first movement, with titles such as "The Juggler," "The Acrobat," and "The Magician." Liebermann's Album for the Young, Op. 43 is a modern take on the traditional piano album for children. The pieces are accessible to young pianists, but also offer a level of sophistication that makes them enjoyable for adults as well. The album has become a popular choice for piano teachers looking for repertoire that is both fun and challenging for their students.
