Lost at Sea, Solo

Lost at Sea is a touching, lyrical piano solo that captures the feeling of being adrift — alone, uncertain, and waiting for the wind to change. With repeated ostinato patterns and a singing melody that floats above them, this piece gives early intermediate players a chance to work on lyrical phrasing, dynamic contrast, and expressive shaping while maintaining a steady 3/4 pulse that feels both gentle and poignant.
