Schumann - Träumerei (Daydream)

From the Op. 15, "Scenes from Childhood for the Pianoforte", of Robert Schumann is No. 7 (Traumerei) played on organ by myself.

There are a few mistakes, as the piece was originally intended for an instrument with a damper pedal, but I (personally) don't believe that this detracts too terribly much from the performance. Since I am listing my faults, I may have also taken "ritardando" a little too seriously at the end!

This piece, to me, is a very reminiscent tune and somewhat doleful. I let the notes linger for some time to convey this. I would appreciate your comments and critiques, as I am quite a new organist.

At any rate, enjoy!

To play the Träumerei on organon is an interesting idea and I think this instrument could give the Träumerei another flavour. Hmm, honestly, I don´t like much what you call "somewhat doleful" interpreted into this piece, but it´s just my layman opinion. I think this here is not the Träumerei. If you could give it a more lively tone I think I would like it much better, though. Please give this another try, it´s definitely worth it.

I could do much better...it's almost funny to watch this now! I was brand new at the organ when I made this!

I really ought to, but with my camera equipment, it is a real hassle to put things on YouTube from live performances. Let me mull over this.

Haha. If you were brand new then this is quite good. I would love to see you try again.

I'm currently learning this on Piano.

It's on the grade 7 list for 2007-08.

Brilliant.
