This is my solo piano piece composed for Piano Day 2018: http://www.pianoday.org/

It is the coming together of two ideas I had been playing with for a file, both inspired by the movement of snow and how it seems to float as well as fall. Recorded one night with 1 mic on my miniature Wagner upright piano using the felt pedal. (sorry for the poor recording)

Francesco Adornetto is a neoclassical and ambient pianist and composer who believes music is a form of breath.
His pieces unfold slowly, like a mindful exhale — offering space, silence, and a sense of emotional truth.

🧘‍♂️ Deeply inspired by yoga, inner stillness, and the quiet power of presence,
his music invites you to pause, soften, and reconnect with the moment.

Blending calm piano, neoclassical minimalism, and ambient textures with occasional ethereal vocals, Francesco Adornetto creates soundscapes for yoga, meditation, slow mornings, study, and reflection.
His sound resonates with fans of Ólafur Arnalds, Ludovico Einaudi Yann Tiersen, Max Richter, and Joep Beving and more...

Since beginning his neoclassical journey in 2024, his work has gained recognition for emotional depth, introspective tone, and a delicate yet expressive language.
He has collaborated with Jessica Bains Brown, Francess Harris, Alessandra Celletti, Mauricio De Los Santos, Araceli Parra, Roberto Guerra, Dawn Walters, and others.

Francesco composes with a handcrafted approach, guided by touch, attentive listening, and the inspiration of the moment — creating music not as a product, but as a deeply human act.
