It really depends on the piano transcription for it. Matthew Cameron's transcription is my favorite, but it's probably at the grade 8-9 level. Go to www.8notes.com and learn the easy version for it.

I like this!

Listed, in no particular order, as my top three favorite pieces at this current moment:
1) Bach - Prelude In D Minor + Fugue
2) Rachmaninoff - Op. 3 No. 2 In C# Minor
3) Bach - The Goldberg Variations (played by Glen Gould)

1. Moonlight Sonata 1st, 2nd, and 3rd movement
2. Beethoven 5th Symphony
3. Fur Elise
4. Liszt Nocturne no. 3
5. Ballade Pour Adeline
6. Le Petit Negre


but I don't have any music sheets of these songs!! HELP! =)

That musical animation was fun, thanks for sharing it... he has a bunch of others too

Well all of our tastes are different, and for myself I know there are plenty of things I like but I could not list all of them
I did not know Claire de Lune , it is nice but did not have too much effect on me

Andrew posted How to Play Fur Elise on YouTube, check it out. He does show the sheets of the song.

Do keyboards and keytars count? I love the speed and accuracy of Kingdom for a Heart, the live show Successor MCD (2000) version.

Not that, I most like Für Elise. I mean, that's a song we grow up listening. And there's another one I know how to play but forgot the name right now...
