Inspired by Traumerei – Robert Schumann’s famous composition for piano – ‘Gelukkig genoeg!’ (‘Happy enough’) incorporates poems and images to tell a special story: a story in which music comes to life. While ten fingers fly over the keys, the pianist and the narrator spin a dream about their childhood; a dream about foreign lands and people. But are they happy? It’s all but a dream, a traumerei… Happy enough!
