France, 2008. Romain Thiery discovers his first forgotten piano in an abandoned castle. He then had an idea and embarked on a quest to find these silent giants throughout Europe and the United States. He discovered more than a hundred pianos in places of striking beauty that he immortalized without staging. Odyssées Editions is honored to defend this year the third book “Requiem for Pianos” which traces the entirety of this project since 2008.

Like a notebook with images, maps, texts and music scores, Requiem for Pianos is a beautiful 224-page picture book printed in France by Escourbiac.
