YIRUMA

Kiss the Rain is one of Yiruma’s most beloved works, known for its delicate and introspective atmosphere. The piece begins with a gentle melody in the higher registers of the piano, instantly creating a serene and intimate mood. Gradually, the left hand adds depth to the texture, and the melody unfolds across different octaves while maintaining a smooth continuity.

Yiruma’s signature light touch ensures that even as the texture becomes richer, the piece remains soft and sensitive. Through subtle variations in rhythm, harmony, and texture, the music takes the listener on a delicate journey, gradually building in intensity before returning to the precious lullaby of the opening theme. This smooth progression, without abrupt changes, perfectly reflects Yiruma’s unique style.

Personal Note

Kiss the Rain is a dream for many pianists, but the original version can be challenging and requires solid experience. To make this piece accessible to everyone, I created a simplified version specifically designed for beginners. This version preserves all the authenticity and emotional richness of the piece, allowing aspiring pianists to enjoy it without frustration.
