Träumerei (Kinderszenen, Op. 15 No. 7)

Robert Schumann

"Träumerei" from Schumann's Scenes from Childhood, arranged for B♭ clarinet and piano. Written by an adult looking back on childhood, it holds nostalgia and reverie together. The same theme returns four times under slightly different harmonies — give each a different expression, and allow yourself to stretch and gather the time a little.
