This well known and well-loved piece from perhaps the best known and one of the most prolific composers of all time, is played competently here by pianist Pat Holmberg. This is a soothing, comforting prelude. Instrumental, Classical Music, Baroque Period, Johann Sebastian Bach
This is classified as a 'novelty' tune, but it's very similar to early ragtime piano music. Composed in 1921 by Zez Confrey, there are places in this that sound just like a kitten bouncing into the keys and out again. It's very descriptive of that in a fun, tongue-in-cheek way. Instrumental, Jazz Music, Ragtime
Hauntingly familiar, this piano piece has an unforgettable melody, and ranges in mood from whimsical and delicate to moving, lush and full in the style of the romantic period at its most wonderful. In ABA form, the 2 "A" parts are the calm ones, while the middle "B" part is fuller and a bit faster. Instrumental, Classical Music, Romantic Period, Claude Debussy
This was a favorite standard of jazz musicians in the 30's and 40's-and to this day with groups who still play tunes from that era. It was used for sing-alongs in those days before TV when people would gather around an upright piano in someone's living room and sing for entertainment in the evenings, Instrumental, Americana Music, Americana Roots
Ragtime piano, toe-tapping, fun, upbeat, cheerful, reminiscent of the "roaring twenties" in American history before the Depression. Lively and certain to raise a person's spirits. Instrumental, Jazz Music, Ragtime
Mid tempo ragtime piano. Ragtime, Jazzy, History, Joplin, sweet, fun, wholesome family and children. Great sitcom theme song, opening intro or closing credits. Instrumental, Jazz Music, Ragtime
A popular two-step tune from the early 20th century, played here in a "stride" piano style. Has a good steady beat, and is great for singing along or dancing if you want to. Full of nostalgia from anyone born before 1935. Instrumental, Jazz Music, Ragtime
A popular two-step tune from the early 20th century, played here in a "stride" piano style. Has a good steady beat, and is great for singing along or dancing if you want to. Full of nostalgia from anyone born before 1935. Instrumental, Jazz Music, Swing | Stride
Melodic and with warmth, this track exudes a calm strength - unhurried and confident. There is a more tumultuous part in the middle, and then it sinks back into the same quiet feeling of the beginning. Instrumental, Classical Music, Classical Period, Ludwig van Beethoven
A nice warm melody on this track, combined with the title makes one wonder if perhaps Schumann was thinking of this wife at the time. Their love story is one of the most famous in music history, and certainly she would have played this piece. Instrumental, Classical Music, Romantic Period, Robert Schumann
This starts out with pizzicato strings, as raindrops. They become more intense, and then other instruments join until it develops into a huge storm. It then calms down before the quiet ending. Instrumental, Americana Music, Americana Roots
In contrast to the first movement of this suite - Spring Creek - this is descriptive of the Colorado river. The Colorado is a big river, and so moves slower than a small creek. It is massive, and I have tried to convey that quiet strength in sound. Instrumental, Americana Music, Americana Roots
A short (slightly less than 2 minutes) fun, jazzy piece for flute, clarinet and bassoon. Upbeat and toe-tapping, with a lot of counterpoint. Instrumental, Americana Music, Americana Roots
This slow movement of the familiar Mozart sonata is melodic, soothing, and calming. It has interesting harmonic changes..... goes into the minor mode for a while.... then back to the major mode, ending cheerfully. Instrumental, Classical Music, Classical Period, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is the slow movement of this Sonatina. It is melodic, quite delicate at times, and has a distinct warmth about it. Instrumental, Classical Music, Classical Period
A simple acoustic piano track with a memorable melody which is fairly familiar. It is from the album "Woodland Sketches" by early American composer Edward Macdowell. It has a nice fresh, clean, uncomplicated sound. Instrumental, Classical Music, Romantic Period
Descriptive of a bubbling creek played by woodwinds, which then gives way to a catchy syncopated melody played by the glass harp. This is upbeat and cheerful all the way through. Instrumental, Americana Music, Americana Roots
This is one of the most familiar of Mozart's piano sonatas. Almost everyone has heard at least the first part of this sonata - it has one of those unforgettable melodies. Definitely from the classical period, it has that melody on top, with an accompanying pattern on the bottom. Instrumental, Classical Music, Classical Period, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is one of some piano pieces I'm writing to honor close friends - both deceased and living. I've tried to capture in sound unique characteristics of them. Marshia had an infectious laugh, which I have tried to show in the middle part of this piece. First & last parts are more mellow & flowing. Instrumental, Classical Music, 21st Century
In Tchaikovsky's mind, this piece is descriptive of what its title says. It is expressive, building up to highs and back down again to quiet places. Short, uncomplicated and simple. Instrumental, Classical Music, Romantic Period, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
This is a short, simple, two-line piece in the minor mode. There is definite melodic direction here, and it goes into the major mode for a short time in the middle, then settling back into minor. It is warm, comforting and uncomplicated - beautiful in its simplicity, Instrumental, Classical Music, Baroque Period
This acoustic piano piece has one of those few beloved melodies which stand out from all the others in history. If I were to use numbers, I would rate the main melody in this piece as one of the top 10 of the last 500 years. It's very familiar and well loved. Instrumental, Classical Music, 20th Century, George Gershwin
This is a period niche from the 1920's. Not exactly ragtime or jazz, it is termed a 'novelty' tune. There is a definite beat, and like ragtime, it is upbeat, toe-tapping and fun. Picture the flapper era, in the happy optimistic time in the USA between the First World War and the depression. Instrumental, Jazz Music, Novelty Jazz
This is a melodically-driven acoustic piano piece, with a strong and consistent rhythmic pattern underneath that melody, which is actually singable. Nice lush jazz-type chord progressions throughout. Instrumental, Classical Music, 21st Century
An energetic piece for acoustic piano in ABA form. The A sections are similar (the second one having more embellishing notes than the first), and are tonal, with a strong melodic line. The B section is quite different and more jazz oriented. Full chords moving quickly in jazz rhythms. Instrumental, New Age Music, Atmospheres
Elegant improvised piano solo with lush melody. From the Mountain Images CD about the beauty of listening to rainfall in a ski resort by a roaring fire. Romance, true love, sweetness, emotional scenes between lovers. Gets a little edgy, too, perhaps a build-up to action or emotions. Instrumental, New Age Music, Nature
A familiar melody is on this track - loved by piano students through the years. Short, with a memorable, singable melody, this is happy music. Instrumental, Classical Music, Romantic Period, Robert Schumann
A restful, melodic piece in the classical tradition for acoustic piano. Nice use of contrapuntal effects. It tells a nice melodic story, and has warmth. Instrumental, Classical Music, 21st Century
Beautiful and strong music -- really exciting! Solo acoustic piano with strong jazz influences in the harmonic and rhythmic structures. From the first note to the last, you may find yourself tapping your toes and swaying a bit to the left and right. Instrumental, Classical Music, 21st Century
Tchaikovsky was very clever at picking up the flavor of different nationalities in some of the music he wrote. This is a simple, short acoustic piano piece which is spirited and has a strong melody, and reflects a happy, perhaps beer-drinking, lederhosen clad crowd doing folk dances. Instrumental, Classical Music, Romantic Period, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
A simple, rather poignant and haunting melody played on acoustic piano. The middle section picks up a bit in tempo and has hints of jazz/ragtime - then back to a repeat of the slower, more meditative beginning. Instrumental, Classical Music, 21st Century
This is the first movement by composer Carlos Seixas (1704-1742). He was living and composing in Portugal at the same time that Bach (Germany) Handel (England) and Scarlatti (Italy) were doing the same. His music is clearly Baroque, but refreshingly different from those other three. Instrumental, Classical Music, Classical Piano
The six tracks on this album entitled "Mountain Images" are descriptive of places in the Colorado Rockies. They are all for solo acoustic piano - no other instruments, Instrumental, New Age Music, Nature
