The Heart Asks Pleasure First
This piece is one of my all-time favourites. Still remember watching the film in Canberra 93, with my Girlfriend Nicola (now wife) “The Heart Asks Pleasure First” is a piano piece composed by Michael Nyman for the soundtrack of the 1993 film “The Piano.” The composition is characterised by its emotive and expressive melody, which captures a range of emotions related to desire, longing, and the complexity of human emotion. The piece alternates between moments of gentle introspection and passionate intensity, reflecting the film’s themes of love, freedom, and the conflict between societal expectations and personal desires. Through its dynamic range and expressive performance, it has become one of Nyman’s most famous and beloved compositions.
This piano collection is more than just background music; it’s a companion for your Monday mornings, offering solace, motivation, and a deep well of emotional energy to draw from throughout the week. Let each note remind you that every day is a new opportunity for growth and discovery. So, as you sip your morning coffee and plan your week ahead, let these melodies transform your Monday from a day to endure into one to celebrate.
