Träumerei (Dreaming), the seventh piece from Schumann's Kinderszenen (1838), is a miniature masterpiece of childlike wonder and tender reverie. Played on a steel tongue drum its long, floating phrases drift with an almost dreamlike quality, the instrument's natural resonance perfectly mirroring the piece's introspective, faraway mood. One of the most emotionally intimate pieces in the entire Romantic piano repertoire.
How to play Träumerei — Schumann on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a intermediate arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Träumerei — Schumann.
