There aren't many classical pieces that are well-suited to a beginning arrangement for clawhammer banjo, but Schumann's The Happy Farmer is one of them. I wasn't deliberately aiming for a beginner's arrangement, but I noticed it was naturally in Open G, with no drop thumb, and nothing difficult to reach except perhaps the 4th string F#... If you are a beginning clawhammer player and want to add a classical piece to your playbook, especially if you like the Wizard of Oz, this is one to pick!
