Piano Melancolía

Music teacher, piano player and composer Carl Jürgen Emert, a graduate of the Cologne Academy of Music, started his „Piano Melancolia“ project in 2013. His compositions were originally intended to support learning-intensive teaching phases and to increase concentration. This was followed by the request of many piano-playing students to be allowed to replay the pieces. The results are two "Piano Melancolia" sheet music albums, each containing the 20 most popular pieces (most of his pieces are available as sheet music on www.sheetmusicplus.com) and six piano solo releases. "Piano Melancolia" is a relaxed crossover melange of classical and jazz elements and moves stylistically between Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds and Yann Tiersen.
