Summary of This Book
This collection brings together a "premium" selection of piano works from the best of contemporary repertoire and film music. Designed for intermediate pianists, it offers engaging, accessible, and expressive pieces, perfect for gaining confidence while working on sound quality, phrasing, and rhythmic consistency. The collection features very lyrical writing, repetitive motifs typical of minimalism, as well as rich harmonies that encourage careful use of the pedal and dynamics.
The selection highlights major themes from films and series alongside essential pages from neo-classical piano. You can thus move from a poetic atmosphere to a more cinematic tension, while building a solid repertoire for personal enjoyment, auditions, or accompanying artistic projects. Among the key composers and titles are Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, Joe Hisaishi, Thomas Newman, Dario Marianelli, Ramin Djawadi, Philip Glass, Max Richter, and Alexandre Desplat, offering a particularly stimulating palette of emotions and styles.
