Information about this piece…

Meaning “dreaming” in German, this unforgettable piece is a fantasy ride of soaring melodies over poignant chords. Mark transcribed this piano work for a large chromatic dulcimer (Mark plays a 4 octave instrument) even though it can be performed on a slightly smaller-ranged instrument by transposing wide octave leaps in spots. Although difficult to play, it is well worth the work!
