I’m thrilled to write my first article on this platform. I’m excited to announce the global release of my piano music, Lilyan’s Piano Stories, which will take place on September 27, 2024, featuring my debut single, “Unspoken Words.” This release is the culmination of a creative journey where I’ve been immersed in every stage of my musical project, from composition and recording to production. My musical journey has been an adventure filled with learning and growth, and I can’t wait to share this work with all of you!
Melodies that Tell Stories
The idea behind Lilyan’s Piano Stories was born from my love for the piano and my desire to convey stories through music, evoking memories from my childhood with gentle, nostalgic pieces in minor keys. The first melody that captured my heart was “Nostalgia” by Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, and it has been the cornerstone of my piano compositions.

Despite having stepped away from the piano for many years, after the loss of my beloved dog and a period of meditation, I deeply connected with my inner world and began hearing silent melodies in my mind. This intuitive and mysterious process has formed the foundation of my musical creation. Working on this project has been a challenge, especially when facing the solitude of the creative process. However, each obstacle overcome has strengthened my determination and enriched my music.
The Power of Having a Dream
Music is a passion that burns in my heart, and following my dreams has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. I want to inspire others to pursue their passions, not to give up in the face of challenges, and to believe in the power of their dreams. Music has the ability to touch souls and change lives, and I hope that Lilyan’s Piano Stories does precisely that. This process has allowed me to grow not only as an artist but also as a person. I hope these pieces invite dreaming, healing, and connecting with your inner world or the universe, and perhaps, discovering your purpose.
My Project Details
“Unspoken Words” is the first single from my suite of compositions. This suite consists of two parts: the first includes ten piano pieces that are already registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, and the second part, which also comprises ten pieces, is already composed and in the recording process. Each piece is originally composed, performed, recorded, and produced by me, ensuring that every aspect of the music reflects my artistic vision. You can find the names of the first ten pieces on my website, lilyanleyva.com, specifically in PIANO MUSIC.
Inspiration and Musical Genre
My musical genre is compatible with classical, contemporary, new age, and instrumental piano. All my pieces are born from a deep nostalgia, inspired by composers like Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, whose works I played in school. This blend of classical and modern influences creates a unique and evocative musical experience. Additionally, I draw inspiration from classical masters like Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, Rachmaninoff, and Erik Satie, as well as cinematic and fusion icons like John Barry and Yanni. This combination of influences allows me to create melodies that resonate deeply with my spirit.
Story, Cover and Meaning of “Unspoken Words”
Each piano piece has its own story and I have also designed all of its covers. I chose «Unspoken Words» from Lilyan’s Piano Stories (the full melody is 2.40 minutes) as my debut album because it represents the essence of my music in every sense. Discover the story behind this melody in PIANO MUSIC.
A love story lost in the silence of time…
“Imagine a composer sitting in the dimness of a solitary room, facing a grand piano. City lights flicker outside, casting shadows on the polished wood. As the composer’s fingers glide across the keys, ‘Unspoken Words’ comes to life. Each note is a whispered secret, a silent longing—an untold story. The music flows like a gentle breeze, and the piano becomes the vessel for emotions that defy spoken language…”
Here are two excerpts from “Unspoken Words” at different moments on Lilyan’s YouTube Channel:

Social Media and Spotify
I am active on various social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Additionally, I have an Artist Profile on Spotify where you can find my music and follow my updates. Despite artist profiles typically being granted after the first release, I was fortunate to receive mine in advance. I’ve also curated a playlist called My Playlist No.1 with over 150 classical, film, and contemporary piano songs. If you have any suggestions for the playlist name, I’d love to hear them! Additionally, Spotify’s algorithm has already created a radio station called Radio Lilyan Leyva with 50 songs, even though my music hasn’t been officially released yet. I invite you to listen to these melodies!
