Robert Schumann
Opus 15, No. 7, 1838
Robert Schumann’s diary contains the following entry on his romantic piano piece: ‘Saturday, 24 February 1838 – I composed the little thing 'Träumerei'.’ Later he confided in his beloved Clara Wieck and wrote: ‘What I shyly composed, perhaps it will bring us reality. Yes, my Klara, believe it, we will be quite happy!’ Already the following year she became his wife. In the cycle of works ‘Kinderscenen’, this ‘little thing’ is at the centre and remained so throughout Clara and Robert's life. Today, the ‘Träumerei’ is considered Schumann’s most famous composition.
