Reflective piano sounds to evoke calm

Guide your day with a calming piano-led journey across the traditional and contemporary canon. From Romantic masters to today鈥檚 innovators.

A curated dialogue between eras, where traditional piano repertoire dissolves into the ambient and experimental textures of contemporary music. Expect jazz-laced intonations from contemporary voices like Zach Frampton and the late Duke Ellington, seamlessly woven alongside the refined Romanticism of Mel Bonis and Lili Boulanger, and the impressionistic shimmer of Maurice Ravel.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask 麻豆社 Sounds to play Piano Focus'.
