The Last Verse

"The Last Verse" by Joel Lyssarides is a warmly expressive piano solo in 6/8 time, set in Ab major and marked Andante. It sits beautifully under the fingers from the first notes, with a calm, steady pulse that leaves ample room to shape the lyrical melody and let the rich harmonies unfold. This intermediate arrangement captures the piece's thoughtful, modern jazz character—intimate, introspective, and full of subtle emotional depth. Clocking in at around four minutes, it's perfect as a reflective standalone piece, a gentle encore, or a heartfelt moment in any performance. Clear, pianist-focused notation lets you immerse yourself fully in the music's warmth and nuance. If you're seeking a contemporary piano gem that touches the heart through expressive, unforced playing, this one will quickly become a favorite.
