Product Description
"Trost" (Consolation): a simple, smooth melody for piano solo. A
lullaby-like tune, serene but with a hidden sadness. The melody can recall
classical / early romantic music (Mendelssohn or Schumann). Moods:
romantic, hopeful, sad, meditative.
This piece is technically
easy to play, but it possibly requires a certain expressive maturity.
The piece is in A Major, a tonality that the composer (Yours Truly)
associates precisely with consolation
and hope.
There are two versions of this piano piece:
- simple
(level: early intermediate)
- expanded
(level: intermediate)
The expanded version of Trost was
recorded by the Greek pianist Iannis Eralos for the German label Silent Beats. Find this recording on
Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music or YouTube.
