Bright, positive piano piece. Fits romantic and emotional content. Works with a lot of different genres as well!

Gimme a C; a bouncy C! Fun, quirky, off key off colour piece with a few different feels in the middle.

Impromptu in C Major. Development takes its time.
09:23



Arpeggiation and scales in an unusual chordal setting.
02:11



Slow Waltz. English Waltz. Foxtrot. Slow Fox. The piano plays a mournful, waltzing melody, while strings enter gently. Halfway into the second minute, the tone is more hopeful, but then returns to the sadness of the introduction. Just before the third minute ends the hope returns, but melts again into sadness with the final high note of the piano. This is music for a rainy day, or when the hero to a story has lost his way.
03:42



A humorous piano piece! No surprises, but speeding up towards the abrupt ending.
00:29



A piano version of the well-known Christmas theme! Just what you'd expect.
04:02



Almost New Orleans-style; almost march. This is the faster embellished version of the piano solo "Breaktime" (found elsewhere on this site).
01:47



A striking chordal change keeps the first and second halves different.
01:48



Up-tempo 2-piano combo (with bass and drums). Dark in the choruses - lighter in the middle sections.
02:41



A slow waltz with a beautiful and haunting melody played mostly in the higher registers. A few notes were added to Satie?s composition to keep things interesting and give the music a more full sound, the music ends with a very dark chord. This music is sad and tragic, and could be used as accompaniment to a slow dance or an art house film. Composed by Erik Satie.
02:25



Comedic and playful, this rag-time ditty has a strong melody, and is heavy in the bass chords. The second minute features flighty finger-work, as if an energetic bee is flying up and down the scales. The last thirty seconds is a refrain of the introduction, and the piece ends with an invigorating flourish.
02:00



An excellent impromptu in G Major. Interesting choices throughout.
01:54



Relaxing piano impromptu! Great as background music when you don't want the music to steal too much attention.
