Under The Sour Cherry Tree

We welcome Spanish pianist and composer Nel Aique to the ad21 family with his new single Riveries.
Aique’s story with music began as a childhood dream, when he first discovered the piano. Years later, that dream turned into a true passion, shaping a voice that seeks beauty through simplicity.

Riveries is a serene and contemplative piece, touched with cinematic elegance, its gentle flow evokes the stillness of a misty day, inviting quiet reflection and inner calm. ad21.

Riveries

What happens when music feels like it has no beginning and no end—when it hovers in the air as if time itself has slowed? Chopin’s Nocturne in E-flat major is one of those works. At first, you may hear a single voice: solitary, long-breathed, contemplative. But listen again. Almost immediately a second voice begins to move alongside the first, like two distinct currents in the same river. They weave together—sometimes shadowing each other, sometimes breaking apart—yet always resonating in unity.

This is more than melody. It’s a kind of living conversation: the upper voices entwine like two beings whispering secrets, while the left hand provides not just support but a vast landscape of energy, pulsing with its own hidden lines. The interplay creates coherence, a kind of resonance field where the brain recognizes polyphony and structure, but the heart absorbs longing, tenderness, and release.

Notice how the music swells and subsides like breath. The slow 12/8 rhythm acts almost like a meditation cycle, expanding awareness until you stop counting and simply feel the undulation. Forte dissolves into piano, emotion grows and abates, and you may find yourself carried beyond the notes—into the space between them.

By the time the coda arrives, harmony itself begins to stretch boundaries. Chopin moves from keys that should never touch, yet somehow they glow together—like distant particles suddenly entangled. It is daring, and it leaves behind not closure but suspension, as though the music is still vibrating long after the last sound fades.

Let this nocturne be more than background. Let it tune you. The brain finds pattern, the heart feels truth, and the body remembers what it means to resonate with beauty. In this music, thought and energy align, and the listener becomes part of the duet.

Frédéric Chopin Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 55 No. 2

Once again, I have tried to express sensations, in this case, feelings of hope and optimism. It is a melodic  piano on a fully tonal basis. I hope you are able to enjoy  it as much as I while composing it.
