Chilled piano music to bring clarity and calm

Piano Focus

Available for 29 days

Embrace the meditative power of the piano. Spanning four centuries, this collection weaves together Romantic-era elegance, early modern expressiveness, post-war avant-garde, and contemporary experimentalism. British composer York Bowen鈥檚 R锚verie in B Major drifts like a late summer daydream, while newcomer Cerys Hafana鈥檚 airy Eiry sketches a vast, muted landscape from above. Whether rooted in ambient, classical, or minimalist traditions, each piece invites deep listening, quiet reflection, and calm. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 鈥淎sk 麻豆社 Sounds to play Piano Focus鈥�. Produced by 脕ine Devaney. A Reduced Listening production for 麻豆社 Radio 3 Unwind. MM.
