Rêverie - Sueño

A subgenre of Romanticism has caught my attention: the dream (Rêverie, Träumerei). I have searched quite a few, apart from the most famous ones trying to find some common elements.
True, it is sometimes difficult to separate the Nocturne from the Rêverie, or from the Barcarolle, etc..... Except, perhaps, for the composer's intention.

Anyway, I composed this:

When I listen to this music I imagine a quaint little village in the woods.  I could also easily see a sleeping child in its crib.  This would have been perfect for our "Dreamscapes" competition that we just had!  I can see why it could also be called a Barcarolle or Nocturne, but I think your title is good.  I would have done the same thing - pick the most familiar and accessible title to my own culture/language.  Thanks for sharing!

Hey @Luis Hernández,

I love the opening! It’s indeed a peaceful dream form me with that lovely Db major reminds me of Chopin’s only Berceuse which is also dream related for me. The modulation to C major is unexpected but well handled as well by you. One thing I noted is that it will be hard to play the first section with serene mood, giving how far away the notes are, though it definitely is not impossible. The sound would be different than the computer rendition here though. That half diminished chord in b.47 is very lovely!!! It’s also very clever of you to return to the opening key of Db major (enharmoncially C sharp major here)! Thx for sharing! I love this one.

Thank you for listening.

I put a lot of personal emotion into this little piece.

I understand that some parts can be difficult to execute, because of the distances between the voices, but .... if one sees what the Romantics wrote, this is nothing.
What I like about Romanticism is that everything can be very subtle. And also unexpected, like strange modulations, frequent use of diminished and semi-diminished, enharmonies. It's fascinating. 

very cool Luis

I like how bar 16 sets up the C chord, but at the end it resolves to C#. Interesting stuff with the dim and half dim chords. Thanks for sharing!
