Very tasteful and dreamy. I enjoyed listening to this music. Bravo!

Best wishes,

Thank you so much :-) I think I was half dreaming when I recorded this—I recall it being fairly late one evening... so that probably helped w/ the dreamy feel.

Dear KerriS,
that's a really good Job on this piece by Schumann... 
Maybe the only thing that doesn't convince me is on the depth of the reverb (I don't know the technical term)...
I would have reduced it a little. Anyway excellent touch and dynamism...
They give the piece a dreamy character.

Dreamy is what I was after :-) Thanks for your kind words & constructive feedback as well—given that everyone hears things differently, other perspectives are immensely valuable, so I really appreciate it :-)

I released this rendition of Träumerei a few months ago, but my forgetful brain neglected to post it here. I think I play this differently every time—how loose I am with the timing depends greatly on my emotional state. I had several versions that I had mastered before recording this version... and I've had several since, but I quite like this one. I've also got XIII. Der Dichter spricht coming out soon and I'm polishing XII. Kind im Einschlummern and getting it ready for a release as well.

I'm keeping the same settings (more or less) across all of my Kindeszenen pieces, so this is using the U4 Tall Concert preset (modified).
