Composed by Enya in 1988, Watermark is a masterpiece of the new-age genre, known for its delicate melody and calming atmosphere. Its flowing arpeggios and subtle variations make it an ideal piece for developing musical expression and fluidity on the piano. This composition invites you to slow down, focus on each note, and let the music create a serene and meditative ambiance.
I’ve been playing Watermark regularly for years. It’s a fairly simple piece, yet the more I play it, the more I feel like I’m not playing it well. Probably because I end up playing it too mechanically, and it loses all its emotion. So, I took the time to reconnect with it, rediscover its beauty, and record it.
