Free piano MIDI filesto download, from easy to advanced

Download 55 piano MIDI files for free, no account or sign-up: Für Elise, Clair de Lune, the Gymnopédies, Joplin rags, Chopin, Bach. Every work is in the public domain, and each file comes from the Mutopia Project, a free music engraving effort. We opened every one of them in Pianovera before publishing: hands split, duration, pedal, nothing broken.

Each piece has its own page, with a preview you can play in the browser (notes falling toward the keyboard, with the app's piano sound) and the PDF sheet music from the same engraving. For many of them we also publish sheet music with our fingerings, free and ready to print.

Easy piano MIDI files for beginners 21

Short or slow pieces where the hand barely moves: the Minuet in G attributed to Bach, the Prelude in C BWV 846, Satie's Gymnopédies, Chopin's easier preludes, little pieces by Burgmüller and Tchaikovsky. To start, open them in Pianovera's Wait mode: the notes stop until you play the right key.

Intermediate piano MIDI files 23

The classics everyone wants to play someday: Für Elise, Clair de Lune, the Turkish March, The Entertainer, Bach's Inventions. More notes, more hand movement, and often the pedal.

Advanced piano MIDI files 11

For confident hands: Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2, Fantaisie-Impromptu and Minute Waltz, Beethoven's Pathétique, Schubert's impromptus, Joplin rags. Speed, leaps and several voices at once.

Frequently asked questions

Are these MIDI files really free?

Completely. All 55 pieces are public domain works, and every file comes from the Mutopia Project under a free license: public domain for most, Creative Commons for a few, shown on the card and on the piece's page. Download them, play them, use them in your videos.

Which MIDI files are best for beginners?

Start with the beginner section: 21 short or slow pieces such as the Minuet in G, Bach's Prelude in C or Gymnopédie No. 1. Open them in Pianovera's Wait mode: the notes stop until you play the right key, then move on.

Can I see and hear a piece before downloading?

Yes. Every page has a preview you can play right in the browser: the notes fall toward the keyboard, just like in Pianovera, using a lightweight version of the same piano sound. And if you read music, the PDF sheet music from the same engraving sits next to the MIDI file.

How do I open a .mid file?

A MIDI file holds no audio, only the notes: you need software to play them. In Pianovera for Windows you drop the file into the window and the notes fall toward the keyboard, ready to hear or to learn. With nothing to install, the Pianovera web app opens them in your browser. Any sequencer or MIDI player works too.

Do they work with a MIDI keyboard?

Yes. These are standard MIDI files (format 0 or 1). Plug your keyboard into Pianovera, pick Wait mode, and the piece advances at whatever pace you play the right notes. To check first that your keyboard responds, try it on our online virtual piano.

Why public domain pieces only?

Because it's clean: the composers died more than 70 years ago, their works belong to everyone. No grey areas, no surprise takedowns, and you can publish your covers without worrying about composition rights.
