The other half of Garner's 1949 Debussy pairing: where Impressions dreams freely around Clair de lune, Reverie stays closer to the composer's text, floated over Garner's own colours and voicings, and was issued as the flip side of the same 78.
Garner, self-taught and unable to read a note of music, absorbed the piece entirely by ear, and the performance says everything about how good that ear was.
Transcribed complete, with the hands on separate MIDI channels.

Erroll Garner, the self-taught composer of Misty, swung like a full orchestra: left hand strumming steady fours like a rhythm guitar, right hand floating just behind the beat. He never learned to read music and never needed to.
