20 Super Easy Piano Pieces on the Black Keys is a collection of small canvases characterised by fitting a musical guise to each of them. Each piece - accompanied by an illustration - is presented with a title that can serve as a guide to the most effective performance. In this way, the performer will be able to project him/herself into the appropriate imaginary dimension necessary for achieving a compelling and persuasive performance. Technical skills will then naturally increase in a surprising way.

These 20 pieces are 'super easy' because they don't require simultaneous coordination between the two hands. The melody, by constantly passing from one hand to the other, will encourage a sharper ability to control the shape of a melodic profile that is different when compared with two hands playing simultaneously and the theme constantly being played by the same hand. However, two pieces - 'Looking at the Milky Way' and 'The Magic Island' - require further control for a short stretch in which the two hands will be playing together; furthermore, in 'The Chinese Factory', which is - among all the pieces - the most challenging, the two hands are required to play together throughout the entire piece.
