Hal Leonard Peaceful Piano Solos For Easy Piano

Summary of this collection

Designed for pianists seeking an elegant and immersive repertoire, this collection brings together works with a strong emotional impact, ideal for playing at home, unwinding at the keyboard or developing musicality. It features pieces that have become essential repertoire, drawn from film, television and the neoclassical movement, with a clear common thread: the pleasure of playing deeply beautiful, atmospheric pieces with an accessible expressive quality.

The selection moves from one world to another with great coherence, from the intimacy of Big My Secret to the dramatic power of Light of the Seven, via the poetry of Cinema Paradiso Love Theme, the delicacy of Dawn and the meditative fluidity of Fly. The presence of composers such as Johann Johannsson, Max Richter, Yanni, John Barry and Enya brings a lovely diversity of tonal colours, while maintaining an overall atmosphere that is gentle, inspiring and cinematic.

This type of collection is particularly well suited to pianists who enjoy lyrical pieces, modern harmonies and contemplative atmospheres. It provides an opportunity to work on touch, dynamics, musical breathing and phrasing, while building an appealing repertoire for personal enjoyment or small sharing sessions. A wonderful introduction to film music and contemporary piano, featuring pieces that immediately make you want to sit down at the keyboard.
