Un rêve en mer, Op. 28 is a piano piece composed by Venezuelan pianist and composer Teresa Carreño. The piece was composed in 1892 and premiered the same year in Paris. It is a single-movement work that lasts approximately 10 minutes. The piece is characterized by its dreamy and impressionistic qualities, evoking the feeling of being at sea. The opening section features a gentle, undulating melody that is reminiscent of the ebb and flow of the ocean. The middle section is more turbulent, with crashing chords and rapid arpeggios that suggest a stormy sea. The final section returns to the calmness of the opening, with a peaceful melody that gradually fades away. Throughout the piece, Carreño employs a variety of pianistic techniques to create a vivid and evocative soundscape. She uses pedal effects to create a sense of resonance and depth, and employs a wide range of dynamics to convey the changing moods of the sea. The piece also features intricate figurations and runs that showcase Carreño's virtuosic piano technique. Un rêve en mer, Op. 28 is a testament to Carreño's skill as both a composer and a pianist. It is a beautiful and evocative work that captures the essence of the sea in all its moods and colors.
