Healing piano music. Calm piano pieces that soothe the mind (41–50)
energy flowSakamoto Ryuichi
Energy Flow, by Ryuichi Sakamoto—one of Japan’s most celebrated composers—was reportedly completed in just five minutes.
To finish a piece this beautiful, combining poignancy and grace, in mere minutes can only be called genius.
There’s even an anecdote that Sakamoto himself could only give a wry smile at the song’s unexpected mega-hit status.
With its relaxed tempo and relatively few notes, it’s approachable for beginner to intermediate players.
If you can clearly convey the shifts in musical character, you’ll achieve a performance with greater breadth and impact.
Impromptu No. 3, Op. 90-3Franz Schubert
Franz Schubert’s masterpiece, Impromptu No.
3, Op.
90-3.
Marked Andante, in G-flat major, and in 4/2 time, it is known for its somewhat unconventional character, as these details suggest.
Above all, the piece’s appeal lies in its remarkably long-breathed, rich melody woven from continuous sextuplets.
It may not be flashy, but it possesses a captivating allure.
As a work that could be called a “song without words,” I encourage you to listen while letting your own feelings ride along with the melody.
River Flows in YouYIRUMA
This is a piece with a heart-touching melody and a gentle, flowing tone reminiscent of running water.
Its relaxed tempo and delicate piano resonance bring calm to the mind.
Included on the 2001 album “First Love,” it was also featured on the soundtrack of the film “Twilight.” Its popularity is evident, with over 180 million views on YouTube.
Showcasing Yiruma’s delicate sensibility, this work is perfect for quiet nights or leisurely weekends.
We recommend closing your eyes and listening as you’re wrapped in its soothing sounds.
Nocturne No. 2Frederic Chopin
This piano piece features a gently flowing, beautiful melody and delicate ornaments that seep into the heart along with the stillness of the night.
Composed by Chopin in 1831, it masterfully captures dreamlike, fantastical scenes and inner emotions.
The world woven by the elegant right-hand melody and the harmoniously balanced left-hand accompaniment evokes the beauty of an Italian opera’s singing voice.
It has also been widely used in media—for example, it was arranged as the theme song “To Love Again” in the 1956 American film The Eddy Duchin Story, and it appears in the anime ClassicaLoid.
It’s a perfect piece for quiet concentration or calming the mind, making it an ideal, soothing classic to accompany studying or reading.
Fantasy in C minorWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
He is one of the composers representing Classical music, born in Austria.
Among his fantasies, this piece is unusual for Mozart—who typically favors major progressions—in that it is written in a minor progression.
Its comfortable tempo is very soothing, making it perfect for bedtime, among other times.
The way homeDvorak
He was a Czech composer and a musician of the late Baroque era.
Discovered by Brahms, he became a popular composer.
As one of the pieces from the New World, I imagine many places play this in the evening.
When I hear it, I picture the walk home after playing and the faces of the family waiting for me.
Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15-13 “The Poet Speaks”Robert Schumann
No.
13, “The Poet Speaks,” from Scenes from Childhood, is a piece that maintains a gentle, calm atmosphere throughout.
It feels warm, as if a poet were speaking tenderly to children.
The music proceeds at a very relaxed tempo, and at one point the barlines are not written according to the meter.
This is a section meant to be played freely, almost improvisationally! Rather than simply lining up the notes, try playing while thinking, “If I play it like this, can I bring out the feeling of a poet speaking at ease?” Approaching it this way will deepen your affection for the piece.
