The great success of my "Valses melancoliques" (including the award-winning No. VIII - le desir eternel) encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor, created in a 14 day "composing rush" in April 2013 :-)

Pianist Carlos Marquéz (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital), whom many of you know for his outstanding piano recordings, was so kind to play some of the "Swans". 
Enjoy his breathtaking performance of this piece!

Carlos played all 10 Valses melancoliques Series I, which you can find on iTunes and many other platforms. Truly can recommend this!

All 12 "Swans" will also be published as an album towards the end of 2013, performed by pianist Danaë Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse).
Here is a "Preview" of the first 6 valses:

Recently, I received a comment saying "Milana, you rule the piano". Jokingly, I replied with "Or the piano rules me :)". But there is a truth in that joke. When I play, I literally feel like being trapped.. being trapped in the music...

I am happy to announce the release of my new piano album "Spirit of Journey". The album is available on iTunes, Amazon, BandCamp, CDBaby, Spotify and other major online stores and streaming services. Your support is very much appreciated, all the earnings from album sales go back into the creation of music: new and better recording equipment, new and better composing tools and sound libraries and so on.

Trapped in the Music

Trapped In The Music - Milana - on iTunes, Spotify

Night Prayer is the 9th track of my album "Piano Solo", and it's one of the most inspired songs I composed. It's a kind of nocturne, a journey through the emotions, feelings and memories.
