ORIGINAL PIANO WORKS
"Each of Inna's pieces is immediately affecting musically and emotionally, with a strong sense of telling a story. Most remarkably, for someone who has never composed before, they show a fully formed sense of style and completeness, as if “born” as an already finished composition.
There are continual flashes of inspiration that still grab me unexpectedly throughout her music.
Intuitively pianistic and delightful to play, I feel they offer the musician an unusually rich and rewarding (and very pleasing!) challenge to play and interpret, as well as radiating immediate beauty and depth for the listener."
Concert Pianist (Philadelphia)
MY MUSICAL LANGUAGE
I’ve stopped trying to fit my music into a single category.
Its roots are classical. It is tonal and melody-centered, yet open to other influences. I never begin by choosing a genre or style. I begin with a feeling, a memory that suddenly resurfaces, or something I need to understand and release. From there, the meaning of each piece dictates its own language.
That language may carry the intimacy of a song without words, the colors of early Impressionism, a hint of jazz, or echoes of folk music. There are no rigid borders between these elements. They intertwine and dance, sometimes creating contrast, sometimes giving way to one another—as the musical story requires.
Perhaps that is why every new piece sounds different—and yet, somehow, still sounds like me.
LISTEN:
1. Awakening to the Sun (2025)
In 2023, this melody arrived in a dream—my first composition—then ripened in 2025: dawn light meeting earth's awakening, a miracle of new beginnings.
Length: 3:37 (Full track)
2. The Chance Encounter (2024)
Two lonely souls, a sun-dappled courtyard, and a moment suspended in patina-light—where hesitant curiosity gives way to a melody as tender as a first touch. All danced to the whimsy of a Parisian music box and the grace of a forgotten chanson
Length: 1:09 (Preview)
3. here and now (2024)
Where Bach’s formulas meet Einaudi’s breath—a composition that holds, then releases, the tension of being alive. A sonic meditation for the soul: from the weightless 'now,' through echoes of memory, and back to lightness.
Length: 1:20 (Preview)
"OMNIBUS REBUS"
Debut piano album - coming Fall 2026!
Omnibus Rebus (from Latin, meaning “in everything”—literally, “in all things”)
Eight original piano works, each a story unto itself: a touching memory, a transformative moment, a healed wound, a soulmate's embrace, the life's rebirth. From the heart of a late-blooming composer, this is my gift to you—an invitation to revisit your own world of memories and meanings.
Because it all matters...
