Frequently asked questions

What dramatic piano songs sound impressive?
"River Flows in You" by Yiruma, "Comptine d'un autre été," and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" (1st movement) all sound more impressive than they are to play. All in this collection or its companions.
Do I need fast technique for dramatic songs?
Not always — many cinematic pieces use slow tempos with dramatic dynamics (volume changes) to create impact. Speed isn't the only path to drama.
