"Kind im Einschlummern Remix (after Schumann)" is a contemporary classical composition by German composer Matthias Arfmann. The piece was composed in 2019 and premiered on October 26, 2019, at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany. The composition is a remix of Robert Schumann's "Kind im Einschlummern" (Child Falling Asleep), which is the second movement of his "Kinderszenen" (Scenes from Childhood) piano suite. Arfmann's remix transforms the original piano piece into a full orchestral work, incorporating electronic elements and modern production techniques. The piece is divided into three movements. The first movement begins with a haunting melody played by a solo cello, which is then joined by the rest of the orchestra. The electronic elements are introduced gradually, adding a modern twist to the classical sound. The second movement features a solo piano playing the original melody of "Kind im Einschlummern," accompanied by the orchestra and electronic elements. The final movement builds to a climactic finish, with the orchestra and electronics working together to create a powerful and emotional sound. Arfmann's remix of "Kind im Einschlummern" is characterized by its fusion of classical and contemporary elements. The use of electronic elements and modern production techniques adds a new dimension to the original piano piece, while still maintaining the emotional depth and beauty of Schumann's composition. The orchestration is lush and full, with each instrument adding its own unique voice to the overall sound. The result is a stunning and innovative work that pays homage to the classical tradition while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
