Some people associate classical music very much with the historic past, but there is a wealth of contemporary music out there from a new wave of distinctive and adventurous writers, including plenty of fantastic pieces written for solo Piano. Composers include the remarkable Ludovico Einaudi, whose music, rich in spiritual simplicity, has taken the musical public by storm; Jóhann Jóhannsson, who set the classical system to one side as a teenager to kick loose in indie bands; and multi-instrumentalist and composer Yann Tiersen, who similarly broke his Violin aged thirteen and never looked back!
Whether you are already familiar with some of these composers or not, we are confident you will love playing their beautiful music. Often simple in style, there is something magical about the way these writers make the Piano sound, so delve in and enjoy...
