Raindrops at the Piano

When the sky is grey and the rain keeps falling, these are the pieces you want within reach. Five of the most beloved “rainy mood” classics—carefully simplified so that beginners, returning players, or anyone seeking quiet comfort can play them right away, without hours of practice.

Tchaikovsky’s June Barcarolle sways like a boat on still water, Chopin’s famous Raindrop Prelude drips softly into the keys, Scriabin’s luminous D-flat Prelude glows through the mist, Schumann’s Rêverie wraps you in warm childhood dreams, and Satie’s Gymnopédie No. 1 lets time stand still.

Each piece is distilled to one or two pages—only the heart of the music, nothing more. Large print, beginner- and re-starter-friendly, yet still sounding rich and authentic. Just sit down, let your fingers find the notes, listen to the rain, and feel the day grow gentler. The perfect companion for every grey afternoon.
