The character Knecht Ruprecht is also known as Servant Ruprecht.
Ruprecht travels with Santa Claus, carrying with him a rod and a sack. He is sometimes dressed in black rags, bearing a soot-blackened face and unruly black hair.
According to the legend, the children are summoned to the door to perform tricks, such as a dance or a song to show Santa and Ruprecht that they were good children throughout the year. Those who performed badly would be beaten soundly by Servant Ruprecht, and those who performed well were given a gift or some treats. Those who preformed very badly or had committed other misdeeds during the year were put into Ruprecht's sack and taken away to Ruprecht’s home in the Black Forest.

Program Notes

Kinderszenen, Op. 15: 1. Von fremden Ländern und Menschen (Of Foreign Lands and Peoples) is a romantic piano piece composed by Robert Schumann in 1838. This piece is a part of Schumann's Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood) suite. It explores themes of the unfamiliar and a child's curiosity of the world.   Von fremden Ländern und Menschen utilizes a lyrical ABA form set in an ABA ternary meter. The opening melody is soft, nostalgic, and reflective representing the innocence of childhood. The second section begins with a marching-like motif that gradually builds intensity as it progresses, creating feelings of awe and wonder as the music approaches the climax. The piece ends reflecting on the initial melody.   Kinderszenen, Op. 15: 1. Von fremden Ländern und Menschen is an emotionally evocative piece that allows the listener to enter the whimsical world of childhood. The piece’s subtle development makes it a great piece for piano students looking to explore the Romantic era.

Composed by Schumann, R. Arranged by Michael Bomier. Concert,Instructional,Romantic Period,Sacred,Standards. Score. 18 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #3588545. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862653).

Scenes from Childhood contains ADULT music, meant to evoke a simple domestic vision of life as a juvenile in a gentry household in the mid-19th century. While many young people are able to play this music, it is NOT meant as children;s literature, as are the Album for the Young, and the Tschaikowsky album of the same name. These are concert works, played by many fully virtuostic performers over the last 150 years.
So, having said THAT, we have indeed edited these so as to make them MORE accessible to the young person who is a student of the piano today. The notespage, which is visible in the music sample, tells the technical story. Most of the pieces are a single page. Single-sided printing is recommended. Audio here is Traumerei, the most-well-known and oft-played single piece.

Composed by Robert Schumann. Arranged by Paul Taylor. Romantic Period. Score. 2 pages. Paul Taylor #5820985. Published by Paul Taylor (A0.803337).

This andante espressivo from the first movement of Schumann's piano concerto is one of the most beloved passages of 19th century music. The orchestra parts have been seamlessly integrated into the solo piano part. Although the  suggested pedaling  may appear needlessly specific, it is a realistic example of  pedaling that a professional might use.  Phrasing, dynamics and some fingerings are also included. An intermediate pianist would be able to perform this piece easily, as the septuplets and awkward jumps have been modified without diminishing the quality and content of the passage. It is  a fitting recital piece, able to stand on it's own as a solo and is in the original key of A-flat.
