Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.982521 Composed by Francesco Paolo Tosti. Arranged by Christina Pepper. Romantic Period. Score. 4 pages. Christina Pepper #6427135. Published by Christina Pepper (A0.982521). Paolo Tosti, composed Sogno in 1886, one of many great Italian 'salon' songs. It was originally written for voice and piano, but has been re-arranged here as a piano solo so that pianists may enjoy playing this masterpiece themselves. The translated Italian text:I dreamt that you were on your knees Like a saint praying to the Lord. You were looking deep into my eyes, With a glowing look of love. You were speaking quietly, Asking me sweetly for forgiveness. That she be allowed just one glance, You begged, curled at my feet. I stayed silent and, with a strong will, Fought the irresistible desire. I had faced martyrdom and death; Still, I forced myself to say no. But then your lips touched my face, And my heart betrayed me. I closed my eyes, reached out to you; But I had been dreaming, and that beautiful dream vanished.
