The Childhood Dream (for Toy Piano)

Composer: Soheil Shirangi
Year of Creation: December 2016
Performed by: David Bohn — October 2020

The Childhood Dream reflects moments of memory and imagination, where sound becomes a bridge between innocence and reflection. Written for toy piano, the piece transforms a simple instrument into a vessel of nostalgia—sometimes recalling fragments of childhood, sometimes responding to them with adult awareness. Its fragile tones and quiet gestures suggest the beauty and sadness of remembering. Through its minimal texture and dreamlike pacing, the work invites listeners to revisit their own forgotten worlds with tenderness and curiosity.
