In his piano cycle "Scenes from Childhood", op.15, the German Romantic composer Robert Schumann provides us with his adult reminiscences of childhood embodied in 13 wonderful miniatures. Nr. 7, "Träumerei", is one of Schumann's best known pieces; "A drop of music from the deepest source", it especially stands out due to the "exceptional quality of its melody" (Hans Pfitzner).

In popular culture:

It is the opening and closing musical theme in the 1947 Hollywood film Song of Love, starring Katharine Hepburn as Clara Wieck Schumann.

Robert Schumann: Träumerei (Dreaming)

This serenade is a classic example of Schubert's outstanding lyrical facility, as well as his penchant for long melodic lines. There is little interruption in the fluttering harp-like broken triad accompaniment, creating a tense contrast with the spacious and languid melody—an anticipation of Felix Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words. Without repeats, the melody develops into a shadowy and frequently modulating middle section before returning to its relaxed flow.
