Coldplay wrote "The Scientist" for their 2002 album "A Rush of Blood to the Head" (their second studio album). The song was released in November of that year as the album's second single.

At its core, "The Scientist" is a piano ballad, and the beautiful piano pattern from the song's intro is present throughout the entire piece.

It became one of the band's most successful hits - the music video (which won 3 MTV Music Video Awards) has been watched over 900 million times on YouTube, and the song has been streamed over a billion times on Spotify alone.

The album was a huge success as well: "A Rush of Blood to the Head" topped the UK Albums Chart and became one of the most-sold albums of the 21st century in the UK.
Coldplay won three Grammy Awards for the album ("Best Alternative Album", "Best Rock Performance", and "Record of the Year").
It was also included on Rolling Stone's list of "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

"The Scientist" is a wonderful song to play on the piano!

Leonard Cohen was a Canadian singer, songwriter, poet, and novelist. His song, Hallelujah, is very popular among students and performers. It's simple harmonic and melodic structure has allowed it to be a used for holidays, funerals, weddings, worship, and even in the midst of tragedy.

This year, I've been arranging songs that I consider to be important. In my opinion, any song that can be used in so many different situations and appeals to so many different people certainly qualifies as an important contribution to song history!

My arrangement is written in 6/8 time, with arpeggios in the bass for the most part, and a verse and chorus repeated three times, each time a little bit differently, and with a little bit of melodic variation. The arrangement is intended for intermediate to early advanced players because it has four-note chords, some octave work, and an area where there are bass leaps in the left hand.

Ligeti's piano etudes are some of the most splendid works ever composed for this instrument. Every ambitious player is eventually going to examine these milestones of contemporary music literature. The musical community had to wait for new piano works from the pen of Ligeti for quite a long time. now a new volume has been published: Etudes pour piano, troisieme livre.

In the years 1997 till 2001 the magician of sound wrote new etudes which pose challenges to the pianist that are revealed only at second glance.
