Healing piano music. Calm, soothing piano pieces (21–30)
TraumereiRobert Schumann
He was a German-born composer representing the Romantic era.
Among the pieces in his work Scenes from Childhood, there is a very quiet and soothing piece.
Listening to it as an adult brings back scenes from childhood and evokes a certain sense of nostalgia.
It is truly healing.
AutumnGeorge Winston
This piece is by a U.S.-born composer and has been used in many commercials and TV programs in Japan, including Toyota Cresta and the Hakone Open-Air Museum.
It’s a very beautiful song that apparently prompted many inquiries from viewers.
Known for a playing style that reflects natural landscapes, it is recognized as healing music.
Play of WaterMaurice Ravel
A composer born in France who wrote ballet music such as Boléro.
This piece was sent to his composition teacher and depicts the beautiful, fountain-like motion of water; it is very beautiful and pleasant to listen to.
Many pieces themed around water are soothing to the heart.
NocturneRespighi
He was an Italian composer who also worked as an educator.
He was a violin and viola player, and his works influenced many.
The piece depicts a night shrouded in silence, and in the latter half conveys a sense of grandeur.
It is very beautiful and evokes elements of fantasy.
Pavane for a Dead QueenMaurice Ravel
It’s a beautiful masterpiece whose delicate piano tones seep into the heart.
Composed by Maurice Ravel in 1899, this piece is perfect for quiet moments.
Its gentle, flowing melody paints a tender world, like a watercolor.
It will softly soothe your heart when you’re worn out by busy days.
Loved by many since its premiere in 1902, the work remains cherished to this day.
In addition to the piano version, the orchestral arrangement by Ravel himself is equally captivating.
It’s ideal for relaxing at home or for a refreshing morning listen.
Let its pleasant timbres surround you and bring a sense of calm.
reverieClaude Debussy
Claude Debussy, the French composer whose unconventional works had a profound impact on modern music, exemplifies a free approach to harmony unconstrained by functional tonality.
Although he wrote many pieces with beautiful melodies, one I especially recommend is Reverie.
Composed out of necessity during a period of financial hardship, the piece is nonetheless distinguished by its graceful, untroubled melodic lines.
In his later years, Debussy judged the work rather harshly, yet it continues to be beloved by many listeners.
Song cycle “Three Melodies,” Op. 7: No. 1, “Après un rêve”Gabriel Fauré
Gabriel Fauré, the great French composer known for his fantastical works.
Among his compositions, one I especially recommend as a moving piece for classical piano is “Après un rêve,” No.
1 from the song cycle Three Mélodies, Op.
7.
Although this work is often performed as a solo for cello, it also possesses a deeply evocative, melancholic charm as a piano piece.
Each version has its own appeal, so try comparing the three: the song, the cello solo, and the piano solo.
