Tom Gerou: Aimless Clouds – Early Intermediate Piano Duet

Aimless Clouds is a charming Early Intermediate piano duet by Tom Gerou, written in triple meter and the key of C. Featuring altered harmonies and a gently wandering feel, this piece evokes the image of lying in the grass and watching clouds drift lazily across the sky.

Its turn-of-the-century character and slightly calliope-like sound give it a nostalgic tone — wistful, melodic, and wonderfully expressive. A delightful choice for ensemble study or recital, especially for students developing balance and phrasing between parts.
