This is another one of the several works included in Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood". I recorded this in my early college days, long before becoming a father. Now that I have three beautiful children I should probably record this again... now having such a new perspective to watching a child falling asleep. http://www.lisztonian.com/titles/Child+Falling+Asleep-38.html http://www.lisztonian.com/images/lisztonian.jpg http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Dedication-33.mp3 Robert Schumann Performed by Jeremiah Jones. This piece is a bit deceiving... Liszt actually composed two primary versions of this piece, one that is more simplified, and the other, which is the more commonly performed. This is the more simplified version of the piece. At the time I purchased it (many years ago) I didn't even know what it was, nor did I know that there was a more complex version. I have since heard the "real" version performed live many times, and own several different recordings of it. It is definitely on my "to-do" list of recordings. http://www.lisztonian.com/titles/Dedication-33.html http://www.lisztonian.com/images/lisztonian.jpg http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Dreaming-37.mp3 Robert Schumann Performed by Jeremiah Jones. I will never forget watching Vladmir Horowitz's performance of this in his famous Moscow concert. Obviously I was not there in person, but I have watched my copy of that performance over and over again. Seeing that performance is what drew me to want to record this piece, which then led me to record several others among the "Scenes from Childhood" of which "Dreaming" is only one segment. http://www.lisztonian.com/titles/Dreaming-37.html http://www.lisztonian.com/images/lisztonian.jpg http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Foreign+Lands+and+People+from+Kinderszenen-53.mp3 Robert Schumann Performed by Jeremiah Jones. This is from the "Scenes from Childhood" set of works that Schumann composed. This is one that I always enjoyed playing and experimenting with the pedalling. http://www.lisztonian.com/titles/Foreign+Lands+and+People+from+Kinderszenen-53.html http://www.lisztonian.com/images/lisztonian.jpg http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Scenes+from+Childhood+Op+15+No+13-75.mp3 Robert Schumann Performed by Jeremiah Jones. This piece is one of the short pieces presented in Schumann's Opus 15, Scenes from Childhood. This is the final piece in the Opus and can be interpreted a thousand different ways. I have always loved this work. Perhaps because I love poetry so much? In any case, this short piece is both inspirational and thought-provoking. I have dedicated this recording to a wonderful woman, Judy Stockett and her dear husband, Jerry Stockett.
