Presented soundtrack is a Marima play of Robert Schumann’s Revierie Scn 15.7 Childhood scenes or Träumerei.

Composition history:

The "Träumerei", No. 7 of the set, is one of the most famous piano pieces ever written, which has been performed in myriad forms and transcriptions. It has been the favourite encore of several great pianists, including Vladimir Horowitz. Melodic and deceptively simple, the piece has been described as "complex" in its harmonic structure

Robert Schumann also known as Robert Alexander Schumann, (8 June 1810 – 29 July 1856) was a German composer, aesthete and influential music critic. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most representative composers of the Romantic era. Schumann left the study of law to return to music, intending to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist. He had been assured by his teacher Friedrich Wieck that he could become the finest pianist in Europe, but a hand injury caused by a device he created to develop the strength and independence of his fingers ended this dream. One of the most promising careers as a pianist had thus come to an end. Schumann then focused his musical energies on composing.

Schumann's published compositions were written exclusively for the piano until 1840; he later composed works for piano and orchestra; many lieder (songs for voice and piano); four symphonies; an opera; and other orchestral, choral, and chamber works. His writings about music appeared mostly in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (New Journal for Music), a Leipzig-based publication which he jointly founded.

Piano history:

The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It is one of the most popular instruments in the world. Widely used in classical and jazz music for solo performances, ensemble use, chamber music and accompaniment, the piano is also very popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the world's most familiar musical instruments.

Pressing a key on the piano's keyboard causes a felt-covered hammer to strike steel strings. The hammers rebound, allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency.[1] These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a sounding board that more efficiently couples the acoustic energy to the air. The sound would otherwise be no louder than that directly produced by the strings. When the key is released, a damper stops the string's vibration. See the article on Piano key frequencies for a picture of the piano keyboard and the location of middle-C. In the Hornbostel-Sachs system of instrument classification, pianos are considered chordophones.

The word piano is a shortened form of pianoforte, the Italian word for the instrument (which in turn derives from the previous terms "gravicembalo col piano e forte" and fortepiano). The musical terms "piano" and "forte" mean "quiet" and "loud," and in this context refers to the variations in volume of sound the instrument produces in response to a pianist's touch on the keys: the greater a key press's velocity, the greater the force of the hammer hitting the string(s), and the louder the note produced.

Serenade in D Minor, Peter Schubert ℗© Programmed performance, sound recording and visuals by Alexei Kudinov and children for Classical Music of Love, All rights reserved - This video contains classical music song, composition Serenade in D Minor, Peter Schubert

Composer:
Franz Peter Schubert (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁants ˈʃuːbɛɐ̯t]
January 31, 1797 -- November 19, 1828


Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer.

Although he died at an early age, Schubert was tremendously prolific. He wrote some 600 Lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music, and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. Appreciation of his music during his lifetime was limited, but interest in Schubert's work increased dramatically in the decades following his death at the age of 31. Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn, among others, discovered and championed his works in the 19th Century. Today, Schubert is admired as one of the leading exponents of the early Romantic era in music and he remains one of the most frequently performed composers.

Serenade is one of Schubert's small pieces printed shortly after his death (while the manuscripts of many of the longer works, whose existence was not widely known, remained hidden in cabinets and file boxes of Schubert's family, friends, and publishers: even some of Schubert's friends were unaware of the full scope of what he wrote)

A posthumous collection of songs by Franz Schubert, published shortly after his death is called Schwanengesang ("Swan song"). Schwanengesang was composed 1828 and published in 1829 just a few months after the composer's death on November 19, 1828.

Unlike the earlier Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, this Anthology like collection uses poems by three poets, Ludwig Rellstab (1799--1860), Heinrich Heine (1797--1856) and Johann Gabriel Seidl (1804-1875). Schwanengesang has the number D 957 in the Deutsch catalogue.

In the original manuscript in Schubert's hand, the first 13 songs were copied in a single sitting, on consecutive manuscript pages, and in the standard performance order. All the song titles are by Schubert, as Heine did not give names to the poems. ...Franz Liszt later transcribed these songs for solo piano.

In the song listing of Schwanengesang, as found in Schubert's manuscript, Serenade is number 4 among songs on lyrics by Ludwig Rellstab:

Liebesbotschaft (Message of love)
Kriegers Ahnung (Warrior's foreboding)
Frühlingssehnsucht (Longing in spring)
Ständchen (Serenade, the singer exhorts his lover to make him happy)
Aufenthalt (Dwelling place)
In der Ferne (In the distance)
Abschied (Farewell)

The following list of songs on lyrics by Heinrich Heine includes:

Der Atlas (Atlas)
Ihr Bild (Her image)
Das Fischermädchen (The fisher-maiden)
Die Stadt (The city)
Am Meer (By the sea)
Der Doppelgänger (The double)

And there is the last song based on a poem written by Johann Gabriel Seidl:

Taubenpost (Pigeon post)

Schubert also set to music a poem named Schwanengesang by Johann Senn, unrelated to this collection (number D744 in the Deutsch catalogue).

But what musical form Serenade is about?

In music, a serenade (or sometimes serenata) is a musical composition, and/or performance, in someone's honor. Serenades are typically calm, light music. The word Serenade is derived from the Italian word sereno, which means calm.

Usually the character of the work is lighter than other multiple-movement works for large ensemble (for example the symphony), with tunefulness being more important than thematic development or dramatic intensity. Most of these works are from Italy, Germany, Austria and Bohemia.

Because of such a nature Serenades in general, and Serenade by Schubert in particular, with an appropriate motion picture can help heal saddness, loneliness, emptiness, grief and depression naturally, just remember that life goes on, and that you was born to be on its' bright side. Period.

Franz Peter Schubert (31. Januar 1797 am Himmelpfortgrund in Wien, heute Teil des 9. Wiener Gemeindebezirks Alsergrund; † 19. November 1828 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Komponist.

Franz Peter Schubert est un compositeur autrichien, né le 31 janvier 1797 à Lichtenthal, près de Vienne, et mort dans la même ville le 19 novembre 1828. Bien que mort à 31 ans, Schubert est l'un des grands compositeurs du XIXe siècle et le maître incontesté du lied.

Franz Peter Schubert (Vienna, 31 gennaio 1797 – Vienna, 19 novembre 1828) è stato un compositore austriaco di musica romantica.

Franz Peter Schubert (Viena, 31 de enero de 1797 – ibídem, 19 de noviembre de 1828) fue un compositor austríaco, considerado introductor del Romanticismo musical y la forma breve característica pero, a la vez, también continuador de la sonata clásica siguiendo el modelo de Ludwig van Beethoven. Fue un gran compositor de lieder (breves composiciones para voz y piano, antecesor de la moderna canción), así como de música para piano, de cámara y orquestal

Франц Пе́тер Шу́берт (нім. Franz Peter Schubert; 31 січня 1797, Ліхтенталь—†19 листопада 1828, Відень) — австрійський композитор, один із основоположників романтизму в музиці, автор понад тисячі музичних творів, серед яких понад 600 пісень, дев'ять симфоній, велика кількість творів камерної та літургійної музики. Інтерес до музики Шуберта за життя був помірним, але значно зріс після смерті й витримав випробування часом — твори Шуберта досі не втратили популярність і належать до найвідоміших зразків класичної музики.

Franz Peter Schubert (Himmelpfortgrund, 31 de Janeiro de 1797 — Viena, 19 de Novembro de 1828) foi um compositor austríaco do fim da era clássica, com um estilo marcante, inovador e poético do romanticismo. Escreveu cerca de seiscentas canções (o "lied" alemão), bem como óperas, sinfonias, incluindo a "Sinfonia Incompleta", sonatas entre outros trabalhos. Não houve grande reconhecimento público da sua obra durante sua curta vida; teve sempre dificuldade em assegurar um emprego permanente, vivendo muitas vezes à custa de amigos e do trabalho que o pai lhe dava. Morreu sem quaisquer recursos financeiros com a idade de 31 anos. Hoje, o seu estilo considerado por muitos como imaginativo, lírico e melódico, fá-lo ser considerado um dos maiores compositores do século XIX, marcando a passagem do estilo clássico para o romântico. Podemos defini-lo como "mais um artista incompreendido pelos seus contemporâneos".

فرانز بيتر شوبرت (بالألمانية: Franz Peter Schubert)؛ 31 يناير 1797 - 19 نوفمبر 1828) مؤلف موسيقي نمساوي. رغم رحيله المبكر في سن الحادية والثلاثين، قام بتأليف أكثر من 1000 مقطوعة موسيقية. يعتبر الكثيرون بعض أعماله من أفضل المقطوعات في تاريخ الموسيقى، وتعرف مؤلفاته لاحتوائها على ألحان مميزة. الكثير من الملحنون عاشوا وعملوا في فيينا، أمثال جوزيف هايدن، وفولفغانغ أماديوس موتسارت، ولودفيج فان بيتهوفن، ولكن شوبرت الوحيد من بينهم الذي ولد في تلك المدينة. يعد من آخر موسيقيي الفترة الكلاسيكية، ومن أوائل مؤلفي الموسيقى الرومانسية.

It is one of Beethoven's most popular piano sonatas, as well as one of his most famous compositions for the piano.


The name "Moonlight" Sonata derives from an 1832 description of the first movement by music critic Ludwig Rellstab, who compared it to real moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne.
