Robert Schumann's “Kinderszenen,” Op. 15, is a collection of piano pieces composed in 1838, most notably the seventh piece,“ Träumerei”. Characterized Characterized by its gentle, dreamy melody, this piece is Schumann's attempt to portray the innocence and dreams of a child. Through this piece, he expresses the sensations and imagination of childhood that we should not forget even as adults. Schumann's music reflects his love and respect for his wife, Clara, who influenced much of his work. It is said that this piece was composed after Schumann said in a letter to Clara, “Sometimes you seem like a child.”

I believe that the violin performance of this piece has a unique charm that differs from the original piano version. My goal was to create a performance that would quietly bring the delicacy and poetic beauty of this piece to the hearts of those who hear it. What childhood scenes do you remember?

The place where I performed was kanjojikouen in Inami, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture. From the observation plaza on the plateau, we could see a panoramic view of a "scattered village", a landscape unique to this region where houses are scattered among the fields. During the spring season when I played there, the water in the rice paddies reflected and sparkled like a mirror, and at sunset, the sky and rice paddies turned bright red, making it breathtakingly beautiful.
