Healing piano music. Calm piano pieces that soothe the mind (41–50)
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.

Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15 No. 7 “Träumerei”Robert Schumann
Among all of Robert Schumann’s works, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Träumerei is the most famous.
Often rendered in Japanese as “dream” or “reverie,” this piece appears in a variety of media, including television and film, making it one that many people have heard.
Though the tempo is gentle, bringing out the beauty of the harmonies and conveying a soft, dreamlike atmosphere is no easy task.
Still, by the time you finish playing it, you’ll surely be filled with a sense of accomplishment at having performed a true masterpiece to the end!
Suite bergamasque, No. 3: Clair de LuneClaude Debussy
The third piece from Claude Debussy’s Suite bergamasque, Clair de Lune, is considered his most famous work.
It is frequently featured in concerts and used as background music in visual media.
This exquisitely beautiful piano piece evokes a dreamlike scene where the moon’s gentle light emerges in the night sky.
In terms of tempo and note density, it isn’t particularly difficult, but conveying the piece’s unique atmosphere is a formidable challenge.
You could even say that real practice begins only after you’ve finished reading the score.
Be sure to focus on the beauty of the sound and the calm, flowing lines as you practice.
Gymnopédie No. 1Erik Satie
Gymnopédies are three piano pieces composed in 1888 by the French composer Erik Satie.
The first piece, subtitled “Lent et douloureux” (“Slowly, with pain”), is particularly well known among the three and is considered one of Satie’s signature works.
While the music has a luminous clarity that evokes watercolor paintings, the occasional poignant harmonies that surface amid its unhurried progression convey a sense of anguish and wistfulness.
It’s a gently soothing piece that slowly seeps into the heart, making it perfect for listening before sleep or whenever you want to calm your mind.
Kinderszenen, Op. 15, No. 7: “Träumerei”Robert Schumann
Robert Schumann’s “Träumerei” is a dreamlike, exquisitely lyrical piece that makes you swoon.
It is the seventh piece in Scenes from Childhood, Op.
15, a collection written for adults that evokes the spirit of childhood.
The most famous number in the set, it is performed not only on piano but also on violin, cello, flute, and many other instruments, captivating listeners well beyond classical music fans.
You can savor it by listening closely, or play it on the piano and immerse yourself in the beauty of its melody and harmony.
Settle in and enjoy it at leisure on a quiet autumn night.
Amazing GraceSakkyokusha fumei
Amazing Grace is known for its deeply moving, beautiful melody.
Many people likely remember Minako Honda’s crystal-clear voice singing it.
With a title meaning “the wonderful grace of God,” the song is originally a hymn with lyrics by the English clergyman John Newton.
In the United States, it is cherished as a “second national anthem,” and in Japan it is widely used in films and television dramas.
Because it consists of a simple 16-bar melody repeated, aim to perform it expressively by varying dynamics, phrasing, and arrangement.
TAKUMI / ArtisanMatsutani Taku
TAKUMI/Shokunin, composed by Taku Matsutani, is known as an insert song from the TV program ‘Before After: The Home Makeover.’ Many people have surely felt moved the moment this piece began to play as the newly transformed home appeared on screen.
The original version is an ensemble for piano and strings, but performing it as a piano solo brings out its simple, delicate melody even more.
It’s best to keep in mind to play with a warm tone even in the climactic sections.
