Summary of This Sheet Music
These collections bring together compilations designed as a valuable foundation for any classical musician, while broadly opening the door to arrangements of contemporary solo piano works. The goal is clear: to offer a varied, musical, and accessible repertoire in spirit, allowing you to alternate between essential pieces and current worlds, while developing your sense of color, phrasing, and musical storytelling at the keyboard.
Volume 1 highlights a selection of major artists and composers, ranging from Leonard Cohen to Ludovico Einaudi, Philip Glass to Ennio Morricone, not forgetting Erik Satie, Yann Tiersen, Astor Piazzolla, and John Williams. You will find iconic pages such as "Gymnopédie No. 1", "Hallelujah", as well as striking themes from cinema and contemporary music like "The Heart Asks Pleasure First", "Big My Secret" (from The Piano, 1993), "Playing Love" (from The Legend of 1900, 1998), and "Schindler's List - Theme" (1993). The atmospheres alternate between lyricism, intimacy, and rhythmic energy, including "Le Onde", "Nuvole Bianche", "Struggle For Pleasure", and "Invierno Porteño".
Volume 2 continues this exploration with other essential and highly requested piano signatures: Giovanni Allevi, Joe Hisaishi, Yiruma, John Barry, Brian Crain, Antonio Zambrini, as well as composers already featured like Philip Glass, Ennio Morricone, Astor Piazzolla, and Yann Tiersen. An excellent option to complete your library, vary atmospheres, and build a coherent program, balancing memorable melodies and more refined writing typical of the modern repertoire.
