It’s so cool if you can play these on the piano! A selection of irresistibly charming masterpieces.

He is the pirate.Hans Zimmer／Klaus Badelt

[With Sheet Music] He’s a Pirate / Pirates of the Caribbean (Piano Solo Beginner–Intermediate, For Beginners) [Piano Arrangement Sheet Music] / Easy / With Slow Performance – Pirates of the Caribbean

He’s a Pirate was composed as a song featured in the 2003 Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Its striking musical style, which perfectly matches the cool charisma of the protagonist Jack Sparrow, became a hot topic, and it remains highly popular even decades after the film’s release.

The bold, grand orchestral sound is wonderful, but if you can capture the crisp rhythms, the piece’s world can be fully expressed on the piano as well.

Imagine relentless, daring pirates and play with unbroken flow and vigor!

Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 9 No. 2Frederic Chopin

Chopin/Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2/Piano/Tried playing/CANACANA

There’s a gem of a piano piece by Frédéric Chopin that will make you forget the summer heat.

Composed between 1830 and 1832, it’s included in the renowned collection Nocturnes, Op.

9, and is praised for its exquisitely sweet and wistful melody.

The singing right-hand line sparkles like stars in the night sky, gently supported by the left-hand accompaniment.

Listening to it feels purifying to the soul.

It has been memorably used in the film 127 Hours (2010) and the anime Girls’ Last Tour (2017), so many of you may already know it.

This work is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to feel a cool, tranquil mood through the beautiful tones of the piano on a quiet night.

Charlesbarūn

[Street Piano] I tried playing “Charles” by Yomii — Japanese Street Piano Performance.

A song by Balloon, a Vocaloid producer who also works under the name Keina Suda as a singer-songwriter.

Using the VOCALOID “v flower” gives the vocals a distinctive character that makes a powerful impact, and the track is also known for boosting Vocaloid’s popularity—topping the karaoke rankings among teens for two consecutive years.

In the original, the leaping melodies and high-speed guitar arpeggios leave a strong impression, but expressing it with piano alone brings out a different kind of charm.

With its intricate lines and exhilarating sense of speed, it’s a number that anyone who can play the piano should definitely try.

Transcendental Étude No. 5 “Will-o’-the-Wisp”Franz Liszt

Nobuyuki Tsujii / Liszt: Transcendental Études, No. 5 “Feux follets” (Will-o’-the-Wisps)

Transcendental Études is a collection of twelve piano pieces of extreme difficulty composed by Franz Liszt.

Among them, one of the most challenging is No.

5, “Feux follets” (Will-o’-the-Wisps).

To master this piece—whose lightning-fast passages demand fingerwork so quick it’s almost impossible to see—refining your technique is essential.

Comprehensive technical practice is required, including light, agile finger movement and relaxed arms.

It’s a daunting piece that can’t be conquered with ordinary effort, but it’s well worth the challenge.

Take your time and practice it carefully.

Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

Tried playing 'Sugar Song and Bitter Step' [Piano]

In the original, the famous intro played on electric guitar and electric bass undergoes a dramatic transformation on piano, turning into a powerful, almost percussive timbre! By relentlessly hammering out notes through the intro, chorus, and interlude, it curiously starts to sound both like samba and like a tough track from a rhythm game.

Even without drums, you can clearly feel the beat, and it makes you want to move your body.

In classical and jazz, it’s common to deliberately push and pull the tempo, but with this piece, you really want to blaze straight through at a steady tempo, keeping it a dance number to the end.
