Speranța Moraru

Speranța Moraru is a composer and pianist. She composes music for solo piano in classical and classical crossover genre. She was born on October 20th 1988 in the Republic of Moldova. Her name ‘’Speranța’’ means Hope.
At eight years old, she went to study piano at professionally at a conservatoire. Her love for music and composition came from her childhood, even though none of her family members were musicians.
Her father is an engineer, and taught electromechanical engineering until he retired. Her mother was a college maths teacher, who is now also retired. She has two older sisters, three nephews, and two nieces.
Speranța speaks 3 languages: Russian, Romanian and English. Romanian is her mother tongue. In 2014 she moved to London, where she currently resides.
Speranța started composing music at the age of nine. Nocturne op. 9 no. 1 and Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 by Frederic Chopin was the first nocturnes she heard, and they quickly became her favourite pieces of piano music. Frederic Chopin’s music had a big impact on her love for composition and for piano, thanks to his melancholic and melodic style.
In April 2020, Speranța released her first piano singles: Night and Woe, Heartbeat of Midnight, Sound of my Soul and Le Vicomte Waltz.
Le Vicomte Waltz is the first waltz she composed. It was inspired by the Palace of Vaux-le-Vicomte and the Palace of Fontainebleau in France. They impressed her so much that the melody of Le Vicomte Waltz started playing in her head whilst she was visiting them. Seeing both palaces’ ballrooms, imagining how years ago, people were dancing waltzes there; the amazing view of the gardens from the top of the Palace of Vaux-Le-Vicomte; the horseshoe stairway of the Palace of Fontainebleau - these inspired her to compose Le Vicomte Waltz.
Night and Woe, Heartbeat of Midnight and Sound of my Soul are melancholic piano pieces, which were composed at different points in her life. They are all within the classical crossover genre. They would appeal to anyone who is drawn to sad and melancholic piano music.
Speranța Moraru is an independent musician who is currently working on her first piano album, which will be released by the end of 2020. The album will have sixteen tracks, and will be fifty minutes long.
