Healing piano music. Calm piano pieces that soothe the mind (41–50)
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.
A Town with an Ocean View (from “Kiki’s Delivery Service”)Hisaishi Joe
This is a piece by Joe Hisaishi with a memorable, hope-filled melody that makes you feel as if a beautiful seaside town is unfolding before your eyes.
The emotions that arise at the moment of taking a new step—expectation mingled with a touch of anxiety—are brilliantly rendered through light, sparkling piano tones.
The piece accompanies the moving scene in the July 1989 film Kiki’s Delivery Service where the protagonist soars over a new town, and it is included on the classic album Kiki’s Delivery Service: Music Collection released the same year.
Its nostalgic yet liberating atmosphere is sure to refresh you when you feel stuck with work or study.
Why not spend a focused, enriching time wrapped in its gentle, forward-looking melody?
Sometimes, a tale from long ago — from Porco RossoKatō Tokiko
This is a work written and composed by Tokiko Kato herself, whose warm yet faintly bittersweet worldview evokes a deep nostalgia for days of youth gone by.
As it searches for an unseen future, it conjures scenes of passionate conversations with friends—memories many listeners will find echoing their own.
The song was included on the album “MY STORY / Toki ni wa Mukashi no Hanashi wo,” released in February 1987, and is also known as the ending theme of the 1992 film Porco Rosso.
The piano arrangement used in the film, with its striking timbre, gently lets you linger in the afterglow of the story.
With its calm melody, it’s also great to play as background music when you want to focus on work.
LullabyGabriel Urbain Fauré
A French musician who discovered his talent in childhood by playing the church reed organ.
In a suite called Dolly, Dolly is the name of a child he cherished, and this piece is one of those dedicated to that child.
As the title “Lullaby” suggests, it conveys a deep sense of serenity and affection.
Songs Without Words, Book II, Op. 30, No. 3, ConsolationFelix Mendelssohn
Although Songs Without Words is relatively easy and often used as practice material for children, the level of difficulty varies somewhat across its 48 pieces.
“Consolation,” Op.
30 No.
3 from Book 2, is likely among the easiest, making it an ideal choice for a first foray into the set.
While the piece isn’t structurally complex, be mindful of slurs and dynamic markings as you play.
It tends to be a rather understated work that can come across as plain if played too matter-of-factly, so keep a calm, measured tempo without letting it drag, and shape each section with clear expression.
Doing so will bring out the piece’s refined beauty.
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.
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.
