			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I don&#039;t know if it is appropriate to mention my own work here, but last year I wrote a whole series of &quot;easy piano&quot; pieces with free scores, <br />many of which (I, obviously, think) sound quite nice. Below I add a link to a youtube playlist with my own recordings (which, unfortunately, predate my usage of pianoteq).</p><p>The very first entries are so easy that they perhaps sacrifice some musicality, but I&#039;ve always tried to make something that sounds interesting in one way or another.</p><p>Some of my personal favorites (in case you want to check out some of the pieces but don&#039;t feel like checking out everything <i class="far fa-smile smiley"></i> ) include &quot;misty fields&quot;, &quot;humoresque&quot;, &quot;searching&quot;, &quot;morning walk&quot;, &quot;spring time&quot; and &quot;rorate caeli&quot;.</p><p>Edited to add: best click the link instead of the embedded video, or you will only hear the first (and simplest) piece. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2NhgfencZc&amp;list=PLZ6RMuY46l0yUbDr3U375DfNHkVhsz9kn">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Nhgfe...NHkVhsz9kn</a></p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>For me, the music of Cornelius Gurlitt is a great gift to students and teachers. He wrote a large volume of very attractive easy pieces. For example, &#039;Night Journey&#039; (op.82 no.65) is very good. Here are a couple of free editions: <a href="https://s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/2/29/IMSLP680753-PMLP701003-Gurlitt_Op._82_No._65_D_minor.pdf">https://s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usim..._minor.pdf</a> <a href="https://michaelkravchuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Gurlitt-Night-Journey.pdf">https://michaelkravchuk.com/wp-content/...ourney.pdf</a></p><p>There are many more attractive easy pieces - I&#039;ll update this thread when I think of some more! At the moment I&#039;m working on some of my own compositions (easy to intermediate) for eventual publication. Here&#039;s a freebie which I did a couple of years ago. If you like it, I&#039;d love to hear your interpretation! <a href="https://youtu.be/jgY_Aa7rDbY">https://youtu.be/jgY_Aa7rDbY</a></p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Recently I received a &quot;special request&quot; from someone who wants to start playing the piano again after a long time. Did I know any nice pieces that are &quot;easy&quot;?</p><p>The question intrigued me and I started looking for pieces that are technically undemanding, but musically captivating - to my taste of course. I think this means a nice melody, but especially an interesting harmony (presumably using tension notes) and rhythm.</p><p>So far I came up with 2 pieces from Bartók &quot;For Children&quot; and &quot;Andantino&quot; by Aram Khachaturian. Always interested to hear about other suggestions :-)</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdeeuDLtVoU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdeeuDLtVoU</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzR0M7gttQo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzR0M7gttQo</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yEZJ-i5Fb0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yEZJ-i5Fb0</a></p>]]></content>
