Piano Dream, in E minor, is the mechanical piece of the album. It may remind one of a Bach Toccata, with its red-blooded chromatics, and its quirky baroque turns and ornaments. This "Syrian Suite" opens with a tranquil running accompaniment in the left hand, indicating the inner voice of the heartbeat of time. There are feelings of rushing, nonstop activity, and agitation. Imagine a Venetian merchant in the 16th century visiting the ancient Syrian bazaars experiencing in awe its vivid colors, rich spices and exotic sounds.
