Slow, ('Lent' in French), and free-flowing, this track evokes an almost daydream like state. This is the first of three works to be given the name Gnossienne name by Erik Satie to reflect this new style of composition.
The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec ?tonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.
One of the most famous pieces of music for solo piano. Despite having the instruction, 'Lent et douloureux', (slow and painfully), this track is referred to for calm, relaxing and meditative purposes. Atmospheric and ambient.
Gymnopedie No.2 has an aura of sombreness about it. 'Lent et triste', (slow and sad), is the instruction to the player. Very atmospheric with a feeling of calm resignation. Huge amounts of space in the composition for thoughtful reflection.
Slow and grave, ('Lent et grave'), the third Gymnopedie is perhaps the most heartbreaking. The whole ambience is punctuated by mournful melodies that have become so popular in modern productions.
A waltz for solo piano which conjures up images of Paris and popular song around 1900. The title translates into, 'I Want You', and reflects the sentimental nature of the track. A wonderful backdrop for European productions.
The theme of Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11 is delicate and serene. The instruction 'Andante Grazioso', (walking pace, gracefully), produces a peaceful foundation to the six variations that follow.
The first movement of this famous Mozart piano sonata has an initial theme followed by six variations based on that theme. Inventive and unmistakably Mozart it has loud and soft, as well as fast and slow variations.
The most famous of Liszt's Liebestraums. A popular melody which flows along with grace and elegance. Widely used in advertising, films and TV, this loving and emotional piece is perfect for giving an emotional and intense sensitivity to all projects and productions.
Delicate lullaby for piano written by Chopin as variations on a theme. It showcases the inventiveness of the composer as ideas evolve. Lose yourself in this sweet and mellow composition.
A serene start with beautiful melodies produces a sentimental and loving atmosphere. This contrasts with the more upbeat, almost dance-like passage which in turns into a dramatic, powerful and forceful section before returning to a calm ending. Used widely in advertising and film and TV productions.
A beautiful, flowing introduction leads us into a magical fantasy. Sweet and tender, this is the first of Debussy's 'Deux Arabesques'. Written in E major and played at a slow tempo it gives a regal, emotional tone. Widely used in popular culture such as in TV themes and advertising. It has also been sampled by Alicia Keys and used in the video game 'Final Fantasy V'.
Instantly recognisable, this beautiful work by Debussy is calm and soothing yet is intensely emotional in places. French for 'moonlight', this track is relaxing, reflective and simply delightful.
The first of Liszt's Liebestraums, (Dreams of love), is a delicate and tender piece. Always light and very spacious it sets the tone for the three works as a whole. Wonderful for romantic segments, weddings and nostalgic memories.
A mood of intense yet subdued emotion marks the overall feeling of the second Liebestraum composed by Liszt. More dynamic than the first and third parts it shows a less confident side whilst still retaining its passion and sentimentality.
A sweet and tender solo piano track. Few heartfelt notes, like raindrops on the water. Gentle and light, with a naïve and innocent undertone as well as a melancholic and reflective side. Romantic, loving, peaceful and beautiful piano music.
A softly tender solo piano piece. Touching, romantic and heartfelt, like saying goodbye or spending a quiet moment with a loved one. Think romance, a gentle promise of eternal love, or dearly held memories, perhaps loss or melancholy.
Sweet, contemplative solo piano theme. Reflective and gentle, loving and slightly mistful. Thoughtful, drama eternal love, friendship. Mellow.
Sweet, contemplative solo piano theme. Reflective and gentle, loving and slightly mistful. Thoughtful, drama eternal love, friendship. Mellow.
A sad and poignant, ambient piano piece, highly suitable for use in film or other visual media. Regretful, sorrowful. Perhaps dealing with loss, melancholy or long lost love, memories.
A walk through the forest to catch a breath, funny and invigorating. Pure guitar unplugged. An undercover version.
An emotional and complex piano solo which is alleged to be Chopin's attempt to reflect his unhappiness in Vienna. It has been widely used in films, (such as 'The Pianist'), and even in video games, 'Fallout 4').
A bold introduction disguises the delicate melodies of this menuetto. Punctuated by light, dancing themes, this is a positive and confident second movement to Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11.
A simple, heartening solo piano melody. Reflective, mellow, sparse and impressionistic. Sweet and romantic, yet also wistful and thoughtful. Perhaps a little clarity 'Through the Forest' of our busy, hustle-bustle lives? Or a child in need of help - this track has many potential media uses.
