The sky stays clear, light falling cleanly across the floorboards. The day unfolds gently, quiet errands, a stretch of reading, maybe a walk that lingered longer than expected. The piano rests unused, absorbed into the calm. It is a quiet ease, unhurried. These pieces aren’t meant to stir emotion. They accompany the stillness without asking anything of it.

Intermezzo in A Major, Op. 118 No. 2 – Brahms
Quiet Favourite, ~6 minutes
Tone is warm and familiar, as if returning to a room already lived in. The phrases drift without direction, carried more by memory than momentum. Every note carries enough, nothing extra is needed.

Prelude in F Minor, WoO 55 – Ludwig van Beethoven
Hidden Gem, ~4 minutes
It is a thought already spoken once. The rests carry equal weight, filled with presence. It holds its own contour, we are here simply to stay alongside it, steady and clear.

The light remains, steady and cool across the room. Within that quiet frame, something loosened, a thought softened, a pause deepened. The music answered nothing, only stayed present. Sometimes that’s all the day requires.
