Piano-Accompaniments.com was set up all the way back in 2005, as a place for instrumental soloists to find and download audio piano parts to help with practising sonatas, concertos and other solo classical works. Recorded and produced with great care and professional experience, the 2500+ tracks available on this website have already benefited thousands of customers from across the world. The high-quality recordings are in MP3 format and are made available to download immediately after purchase.
Please navigate around the site for further information and to view the available repertoire, including audio and video samples for each piece. Many works have corresponding PDF music scores which are in the public domain, and where possible I have provided these for convenience.
Among other things, I hope these accompaniment tracks may help you with:
1) Keeping in time
These tracks are recorded at a steady pulse, but with a flexibility that reflects how the works may be played in concert. Playing with them should help you address where you may be rushing ahead or letting the pace drop, things you might not recognise when playing by yourself!
2) Keeping in tune
The tracks are recorded at A=440Hz and stay faithfully in tune, so playing with them can help you identify where you may be playing sharp or flat!3) Learning to listen and adapt to the piano part
Many soloists may not have ready access to a professional accompanist, so listening to or playing with these tracks should give you a head start with trying to fit the work together, in the comfort of your own home and at your leisure! Many of the works have free piano scores provided (sourced from IMSLP.org) so I would encourage you to refer to these in order to help make sense of the piano accompaniment if necessary.4) Making practice more fun!
Above all, I hope that these tracks can make your practice sessions more enjoyable and exciting!!The tracks are recorded on a Yamaha Clavinova CLP digital piano, which I consider to be the best instrument on which to produce these tracks. As well as the high quality piano sound, the digital nature of the instrument enables me to edit the tracks after recording to ensure the notes are all correct and the tempo and rubato values are sympathetic. I have used my own experience of playing these pieces in recitals to judge how the tracks should sound, and I hope the results suit as many people as possible! To get the best representation of how the tracks sound, I would encourage you to listen to the audio samples for each work using a good pair of headphones or speakers where possible.
