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.
