These are the voices Robert Schumann heard in his head. This Passage makes a connection between two of his works: Carnaval and Ghost Variations. Seemingly chaotic flurries represent his manic state of mind.

This bridge connects Schumann's Ghost Variations to Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu. A mosaic is created of gradually shifting harmonic progressions through which the melodies appear and disappear like drops of memories.

A mysterious foreboding intensifies and then fades away, quoting the variations that Brahms wrote on the theme from Schumann's Ghost Variations.
