The Musics I am Listening


A small set of calm instrumental pieces for reading or working: solo piano, with one classical guitar piece in the middle. It plays in the little player docked in the bottom-left corner of every page. Nothing starts by itself: click the player to play or pause, and expand it to see the list.

Every recording is in the public domain or under a Creative Commons licence, and is streamed directly from Wikimedia Commons. Thanks to the performers and to Musopen for giving them away.
