Musik ist für mich keine theoretisch konstruierte Aneinanderreihung von Tönen und Akkorden sondern vielmehr Ausdruck einer Empfindung. Meine Melodien entstehen sozusagen aus dem Nichts. Sie entspringen purer Inspiration und jede Komposition ist von Gefühlen und Gedanken dieser Momente erfüllt. Mit diesem Notenbuch möchte ich meine Leidenschaft für die Musik mit euch teilen und euch noch tiefer in meine Musik eintauchen lassen. Ich hoffe dass ihr beim Spielen - noch mehr als beim Hören - spürt was ich fühlte als ich das Stück geschrieben habe.”  Florian Christl Der Komponist und Pianist FlorianChristl veröffentlichte 2018 sein Debütalbum 'Inspiration' bei Sony Classical und verzaubert den Zuhörer mit eingängigen und berührenden Klängen. Das Songbook beinhaltet die 13 Kompositionen des Albums als leichte bis mittelschwere Klavierarrangements.   Außerdem gibt es einen Scancode zu Sheet Music Direct wo fortgeschrittene Pianisten die Originalarrangements des Komponisten in etwas höherem Schwierigkeitsgrad erwerben können. Ein weiterer Scancode führt direkt zu der Playlist die für dieses Songbook erstellt wurde. Dort kann man alle Songs zum Buch im Original anhören und dazu spielen.

Inspiration was commissioned by the Solothurnischer Kanotonal Musikverband in Switzerland in 1993. The composition begins with an A-theme written in a Phrygian tonality and after an enormous climax moves on into a quicker B-section characterized by the use of wide interval jumps. Then follows the development in which both themes return individually and together. Peace and quiet is restored in the slow middle movement based on the B-theme. The movement comes to a close with a tutti B-theme brutally interrupted by fragments from the A-theme. Without a break the final movement of this contrastive piece develops from these fragments. The theme of this extremelyrhythmical closing movement is built up of elements from the A-theme whilst the B-theme (from the slow middle movement) returns in full once more. Before the piece comes to a close in a resounding fortissimo the cornet soloist performs the A-theme from the back of the auditorium to special effect.
