1. Liebestraum was my mother's favorite song to play when she was tired or stressed.

She never had a piano lesson in her life, but could pick up/play after hearing the music a couple times. It amazed me. Her brother had the same talent and once had a half hour piano/musical program on a radio station in Springfield, MO.

Mom has been gone for 40 years and listening to those recordings brought her back for a while. She was a strong and wonderful woman, but tended to keep her concerns to herself. I think Liebestraum helped her put those concerns away and not bother others with them.

Having 6 children might have contributed to those concerns.
