Beautiful Melodies: A Collection of Masterpieces and Moving Piano Songs

If you love the sound of the piano, this is for you!

In this article, we’ll introduce moving songs featuring the piano.

The piano is said to be the most versatile instrument, capable of covering everything from low to high registers all on its own.

Because producing sound on the piano is simpler compared to other instruments, its range of expression is very broad—you could say it’s an instrument that clearly reveals the performer’s unique world.

We’ll showcase wonderful masterpieces in rock and pop that make use of the piano!

We’ve carefully curated these selections, so please enjoy!
