Chopin: Waltz Opus 70 No. 1 G Flat Major
Frederic Chopin
Dancing melodies bounce and sparkle in this glorious waltz for piano. A calmer section allows you to get your breath back before reverting to its sprightly and up-tempo feeling.

Satie: Gnossienne No. 2
Erik Satie
The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec étonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.

Bach: Prelude No. 1 In C Major Bwv
Johann Sebastian Bach
Light and calm, this is a wonderful track for tender moments, romance, weddings, sentimental nostalgia and background music. This familiar piano solo by J. S. Bach is from the first book of 'The Well Tempered Clavier'.

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.

A playful waltz with a slight tinge of regret. 'The Farewell Waltz', was written by Chopin for a love he was once engaged to. An affectionate piece with a hint of sorrow and melancholy.

Tempo
Slow
A classical guitar study that is subtle, calm yet emotional and thought provoking. A simple melody is accompanied by a repetitive arpeggio which moves the piece along at a constant pace.

Sor: Study In A Minor Opus 31 No. 20
Fernando Sor
A wonderful staccato performance is required to play this piece composed by Spanish classical guitarist Fernando Sor. Rigid and with a military feel, this piece marches off with confidence and positivity.

Grieg: Arietta Opus 12 No. 1
Edvard Grieg
Delicate and tender, this beautiful track conveys a longing hopefulness with a slight melancholic tinge. Slow and graceful, this was the very first work in the 'Lyric Pieces' first book by Grieg who regarded it as one of his finest melodies.

Chopin: Prelude Opus 28 No. 15 D Flat Major Raindrop
Frederic Chopin
One of Chopin's twenty four preludes which starts very quietly. A note repeats like the pitter-patter of raindrops. A more intense section rises like a heavy storm shower before fading away to leave us with the soft sound of the light raindrops again.

Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement
Ludwig van Beethoven
The first movement of this instantly recognisable piano sonata starts off quietly to set a calm, delicate and slightly melancholic tone. As the emotions rise and fall, the intensity swells and diminishes gracefully. Piano Sonata No. 14 Opus 27 No. 2.

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.
