A book of piano solos by Suzi
Seven evocative piano solos, minimalist in style. Easy to play film music style.
Composer’s Notes
The Promise
A promise of unconditional love between two people. Although dynamics are marked, they are a guide. Please play freely.
After The Rain
The rain has stopped, the air is fresh, leaves glisten in the sun. Play simply with an initial air of stillness, taking care with articulation and left hand note placement.
Moonlit Dance
A waltz with some rubato. This piece was written for a young friend who was experiencing a great loss, to convey to her a sense that all will be well.
Sample: Moonlit Dance
Night Kiss
Imagine a romantic moonlit walk with a little flirtation and a stolen kiss here and there.
Sample: Night Kiss
A Celtic Dream
Loch Lomond was enchanting. I hardly slept a wink because of the spectacular view from our room window. When I play this, I am transported there.
A New Day
Written November 14th 2015, following devastating news headlines from Paris. ‘A new day’ is about new beginnings.
Mia Bella (Beautiful Light)
Playful but sensitive. Mia Bella brightens any darkness with love and joy. When her work here is done, she returns to the light.
Sample: Mia Bella (Beautiful Light)
I really hope you enjoy playing these pieces as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
Best wishes,
Susan
‘Susi is a wonderfully patient and talented teacher. My 8 and 5 year olds love coming to their piano lessons and have made great progress without any stress. She has the balance just right. I would recommend her to anyone.’
