This piece, written in 1837, is the seventh in the eight-piece collection "Fantasiestücke" (Fantasy Pieces). It is a bright, light, and etude-like piece. While the middle section is played with chords, the rest of the piece is characterized by intricate sixteenth-note figures.

Technically, there are numerous passages requiring alternating movements of the right hand's fourth and fifth fingers, making it extremely difficult to play. Consequently, its title, "Traumes Wirren" (Dream's Confusions), is sometimes ironically referred to as "Finger's Confusions" or similar. Nevertheless, as it is a captivating piece where dreams vividly intertwine, it is very frequently performed as a standalone piece.
