1.	A collection of calm, reflective solo piano pieces — music for quiet moments, introspection, and stillness.
2.	Melancholic yet soothing — solo piano music that feels like a conversation with your memories.
3.	Flowing chords, sparse harmonies, and ethereal textures — music that lingers in the air like a whisper.
4.	For fans of Rachel Grimes, Jon Dahlander, and Erik Satie — piano music that speaks softly yet leaves a lasting echo.
5.	Let these poignant melodies guide you through moments of calm, sadness, and reflection.

#pianoday2020

I have a bad (fun) habit of collection pianos/keyboard instruments, so in the spirit of Piano Day 2019, I thought I'd give them all some love. This piece features all 14 of my keyboarded friends, some happy and healthy and others... not so much.

Blissful Naïveté: I wish I had not known before … and I could still float in blissful oblivion.

Blissful Naïveté is part of the "Into The Still White (Songs For Piano, Wind & Water) EP. Modern classical meets ambient soundscapes and field recordings.

Written & performed by Valeska Rautenberg
Mixed & mastered by Marian Kuch mariankuch.de

Sitting by the window, looking out at the rain, following a train of thought while having a cup of tea … serenity meets the sweet melancholy of a just-finished book, a deep sigh, the feeling of longing for a non-existent place … here’s the soundtrack to my current state of mind.

Sometimes there’s no need for words. You can let the wind whisper, the water roar, the birds talk, and the streets of Berlin tell their stories … while you play along on the piano, capturing all of those little moments.

Giesing (For Piano Day 2021)

Happy Piano Day 2021 people! A new quiet filled the air last spring as nature had the chance to become loud again through lockdown. Instead of the sound of traffic, I noticed the chorus of life in the garden: the abundance of bees, birdsong and new blooms. I wanted to respond to this in music, with sounds equally as hopeful, light and delicate as the unfolding of life in spring. I hope it brings some joy :-)
