Dive into Peter Saltzman’s Songs Without Words, a captivating collection of intermediate piano pieces that traverse contemporary styles, from the pulse of dance-pop to the grace of ballads and the imaginative worlds of movie and video game music to the soul of the blues.

Listen to the composer's recordings of all the tracks here. 

More than a series of compositions, this collection comes with the composer's insights into each piece's structure and challenges, providing players with a deeper understanding of technical and musical expression. It also includes exercises for improvisation and composition, offering avenues to enhance and personalize the learning experience.

In the introductory remarks, the composer states: “Each composition in this collection found first life during lessons with my students, mainly over the last two years, always serving a dual purpose: to educate and to enchant. They were not originally intended to fill a book; they were crafted in the moment to offer something beyond the confines of the method books – a piece that resonated with the individual in front of me.”

The result is a rich collection of highly lyrical piano music accessible to intermediate and advanced intermediate pianists of all ages.
