Transcendent piano sounds to anchor your mind

Allow this carefully curated piano mix to melt away worries and invite calm with the best of classical and contemporary piano music.

Dreamy repose meets elegant refinement in this selection spanning 10 decades of classical and contemporary piano, carefully curated to ease the mind and invite calm. From the softly yawning reverberations of Shida Shahabi to a rare glimpse of Gy枚rgy Ligeti鈥檚 more Romantic sensibilities, each piece offers space to breathe. British composers Fiona Brice, Duval Timothy, and Conrad Clipper reflect the depth and diversity of the UK鈥檚 modern piano landscape, while Isaac Alb茅niz, C茅cile Chaminade, and Reynaldo Hahn bring their own European idiosyncrasies to this delicate, immersive journey.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 鈥淎sk 蜜芽传媒 Sounds to play Piano Focus鈥�.
