This volume is a small journey back to my musical roots — to the melodies I grew up with, to the sounds that have shaped, accompanied, and inspired me.
Here you’ll find my favorite classical works, in my own arrangements created with great love and respect for the originals.

It begins with Beethoven’s powerful Ode to Joy — a piece that never fails to give courage and hope.

Next comes Für Elise, perhaps the most famous piano piece of all — presented here in a new, clear notation that invites you to rediscover it with fresh eyes. Then follows my version of Smetana’s The Moldau — music that flows like a living river, carrying landscapes and moods within it. With the Adagio by Bach/Marcello, a quiet beauty enters — that special serenity only Baroque music can convey so deeply.

From Mozart, I’ve included several pieces close to my heart: the second movement of one of his most beautiful sonatas — so simple, so honest, so human — the Laudate Dominum, which for me sounds like a gentle prayer, and finally the Mozart Fantasy, where melancholy and light meet in a wonderful way.

To close, Erik Satie’s Gymnopédie No. 1 could not be missing — music like a breath, soft and timeless. Händel’s Passacaglia carries a noble calm within it, and Chopin’s famous Nocturne brings this volume to an end as night concludes the day — gently, thoughtfully, and full of feeling.

I wish for you, as you play these pieces, to immerse yourself in their world — to feel why this music has survived for centuries: because it touches something within us that remains unchanged — longing, comfort, hope, and joy.

May this volume remind you what music is truly about: to feel, to listen, to breathe — and to savor the moment.
