Dreamreading

"Dreamreading" is a new original composition by pianist and composer Tim Allhoff, inspired by Haruki Murakami's novel "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World." In the book, dreams are read from ancient unicorn skulls — a quiet, mysterious ritual in a world that feels suspended between reality and imagination. This piece is Allhoff's musical reflection of that scene: contemplative, cinematic, and filled with a sense of otherworldly stillness.

Tim Allhoff

As a pianist, composer, and arranger, Tim Allhoff moves effortlessly between
classical music and jazz—with a distinctive style that transcends genre boundaries
and touches audiences with its depth and contemporary voice.
Alongside his successful solo career, he is a sought-after collaborator for
renowned artists both nationally and internationally. Fatma Said, Angélique
Kidjo, Lucienne Renaudin-Vary, Ane Brun, Eldbjørg Hemsing, Anastasia Kobekina,
the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, and Academy Award-winner Rachel
Portman all rely on his musical versatility. He even appears on a Robbie Williams
album.
In 2025, he composed the opening concert for the World Economic Forum in
Davos and released his tenth solo album, BACH, which received outstanding
reviews. This first fully classical recording was immediately nominated for the
German Record Critics’ Award (Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik).
Tim Allhoff’s artistry thrives on openness—to everything music can and wants to
be today. With this mindset, he has captivated audiences on many of Europe’s
most prestigious stages, including the Elbphilharmonie, Munich Philharmonic,
Konzerthaus Berlin, Rheingau Music Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival,
and many more.
He is an ECHO award-winner and was nominated for the German Music Authors’
Prize—honors that underscore his artistic depth and unique creative voice.
