Chopin: Waltz Opus 64 No. 2 C Sharp Minor
Frederic Chopin
The start to this Chopin waltz is elegant and almost sedate. But then the contrast is shown by very fast sections that leave you whirling and spinning with delight.

Debussy: Clair De Lune
Claude Debussy
Instantly recognizable, this beautiful work by Debussy is calm and soothing yet is intensely emotional in places. French for 'moonlight', this track is relaxing, reflective and simply delightful.

The second on Debussy's Arabesques is faster, brighter and more lively.

Satie: Gymnopedie No. 1
Erik Satie
One of the most famous pieces of music for solo piano. Despite having the instruction, 'Lent et douloureux', (slow and painfully), this track is referred to for calm, relaxing and meditative purposes. Atmospheric and ambient.

Bach: Bourree In E Minor Bwv 996
Johann Sebastian Bach
A typical baroque style piece. This was originally written by J. S. Bach as one of the movements in a suite composed for the lute. Popular with classical guitarists, it has a very rhythmical, almost march-like feel.

Chopin: Nocturne Opus 9 No. 2 E Flat Major
Frederic Chopin
A lilting melody above a waltz like accompaniment gets more complex and intense as we're taken on an emotional journey.

Chopin: Prelude Opus 28 No. 7 A Major (the Polish Dancer)
Frederic Chopin
Only sixteen bars long, this is a beautiful prelude. Graceful, serene and delicate it allows the listener to relax and unwind in a calm and peaceful way. Used in many productions and commercials worldwide.

Chopin: Nocturne Opus 15 No. 2 F Sharp Major
Frederic Chopin
A tender start to this lovely piano solo. The middle section rises with increasing emotion before settling down with the piece ending very much as it had started in a calm and peaceful way.
Standard License
Liszt: Liebestraum No. 1
Franz Liszt
The first of Liszt's Liebestraums, (Dreams of love), is a delicate and tender piece. Always light and very spacious it sets the tone for the three works as a whole. Wonderful for romantic segments, weddings and nostalgic memories.

Beethoven: Fur Elise Bagatelle No. 25 A Minor
Ludwig van Beethoven
One of the most famous classical pieces for solo piano. Delightfully playful and hugely popular, its melodies over left hand arpeggios are instantly recognisable.

Satie: Gymnopedie No. 2
Erik Satie
Gymnopodie No. 2 has an aura of sombreness about it. 'Lent et triste', (slow and sad), is the instruction to the player. Very atmospheric with a feeling of calm resignation. Huge amounts of space in the composition for thoughtful reflection.
Standard License
Satie: Gymnopedie No. 3
Erik Satie
Slow and grave, ('Lent et grave'), the third Gymnopodie is perhaps the most heartbreaking. The whole ambience is punctuated by mournful melodies that have become so popular in modern productions.
Standard License
Satie: Gnossienne No. 1
Erik Satie
Slow, ('Lent' in French), and free-flowing, this track evokes an almost daydream like state. This is the first of three works to be given the name Gnossienne name by Erik Satie to reflect this new style of composition.
