Easy/intermediate R. Schumann piano stuff?

[Jaxamillian]

I love R. Schumanns piano writing (song accompaniments and all of his piano stuff).  I love his use of chromaticism and his clever use of harmony.

I'd like to absorb some of his style by osmosis so can you guys recommend me some easy/intermediate piano stuff that he's written?  Thanks.  I know one piece from "album for the young" that and I just love the part to "In Wunderschonen Monat Mai"". More like this would be greatly appreciated.

There's Träumerei, of course, and some of the other pieces from Kinderszenen, but not much else.  My sister and I got to talking about classical music recently; she's a better pianist than I with much greater piano experience, and she says that most of Schumann's music is downright hard!

There is also Op. 82 Waldscenen and the Op. 18 Arabeske may be possible if you work hard at it.
You could possibly try some of the slower pieces, which require great feeling, e. g. Kreisleriana No.4 and No.6.

I don´t remember what the name was, or if it was easy or difficult, but I saw some scores for a really interresting Schumann piece. There was 3 staffs, where only the upper and lower staff was supposed to be played, and the middle staff was supposed to sound as a ressonance from the sound, so it was like a notation of sound quality!

This is part of Humoreske Op. 20 but is certainly worth playing on its own. If you have the Schirmer edition ignore the editor's arrangement. The 'innere stimmung' should not be played.

I don't know them, but I know that he has some easy sonatas "fur jugend"...
