Liked it! Yeah reminds of 4 seasons!

hah! I knew you'd like it! Gotta LOVE vivaldi! Has such a BEAUTIFUL sound!

My favorite music is "première gymnopédie" by Erik Satie. I like most of his music. If you are in love, the music matches to your thoughts...if you are really sad, it matches to it too :-)

well some of my favorites and most listened currently are

Chopin - minute waltz
Chopin - nocturne Op.9
Beethoven - moonlight sonata
and some songs from Michiru Oshima wich are:
Beaming Sunlight
Dante
Bratja
and others

well at the moment that are the pieces are the ones i listen like twice a day each xD

specifically piano? I don't know many songs specific to piano (unless you count the ones I have written myself or the ones my dad wrote). Of the few I know these are the ones I like:

To Zanarkand by Nobou Uematsu
Aerith's Theme by Nobou Uematsu
Another Side by Yoku Shimomura

I also like the piano song that comes up at the start screen for Kingdom Hearts 2 but as much as I've searched I can't find it so I don't know the name of it (not Passion. I like that one but its not the piano piece I'm talking about lol)

I mainly play synth so I focus more on keyboardist than pianists.

Ah i also forgot, Rachmaninovs prelude are sublime

I love Beethoven's "The Tempest"

I should go and listen to it now then, Im not sure Im familiar with that

Edit: So what movement do you like, I see there is 3 movements of the piece

I like the Allegro and Allegretto movements (I think this will be the 1st and 3rd)

1) Polonaisse Herioque in A Flat Major by Chopin
2) Pineapple Rag by Scott Joplin
3) Arabesque No.1 by Claude Debussy

1.) marry had a little lamb
2.)Flight of the bubble bees
3.)Beethoven virus piano(anything by beethoven in his late years.)

Right now Joplin is my favorite! lol i'm having fun with his rag like pineapple, peacherine,search-light,fig leaf, solace, elite syncopation,easy winners, etc lol

You should try to compose a rag of your own I planning on giving it a try in near future

Yeah

I was browsing through youtube, looking for Houki Boushi playd on piano, and I came over this guy, xSymbiose, who owns the same keyboard I have,
sadly mine is broken, and my digital piano arrives at thuesday, "posten" are slow at delivery, 8 days! They need to speed up...

This is my favorite of all times, as I've said before:


Oh, I wanna play this piece so badly, only 30-31 hours left before I get my RD-300GX in the house ^_^

My favourites are: Fur Elise
Turkish March
Flight of the bumblebee ----> this guy rocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6A-JYbu1Os

Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit

Ondine performed by Yevgeni Subdin


Le Gibet


Scarbo

My favrite piano songs are

• pathquit sonta by beethoven
  

Chopin revultary Etude

• chopin perlude op. 28 16
  

chopin plonase in a flat major

1. W.A. Mozart - Symphony 40 in G
2. W. A. Mozart - Requiem - Lacrimosa (AWESOME. I need piano lessons with that.)
3. W. A. Mozart - Rondo Alla Turca
4. W. A. Mozart - Little night music
5. Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons, Winter (1st movement)
6. A. Vivaldi - The four Seasons, Summer (3rd movement, "Storm")
7. L. Beethoven - Fur Elise
8. L. Beethovent - Moonlight sonata
9. J. S. Bach - Toccata and Fuga d-moll (just toccata)

Mine are; Mozart - Symphony 40 and Debussy - First Arabesque.

But I have to say I specially enjoy watching people play The Flight of the Bumble Bee, it kind of makes my mouth water, like when you're starving and have a pizza in front of you but your hands are tight and there's no way you can reach and take a bite... That's how it makes me feel... I wish so hard I could play that piece, but I know I'll never be able to do so.

This dude's amazing.

(guess I can't embed youtube vids here)

One of my favorites is: "Comptine d'un autre été" - By Yann Tiersen
I can't wait to play it one day by myself on the piano!

Carly Commando: Everyday.
Yann Tiersen: La Valsa D'Amelie, Sur Le Fil, Comptine d'Un Autre ete, l'apres midi, La Plage, honestly, anything by him (that doesn't include vocals, for the most part).
Michael Nyman: The Heart Asks Pleasure First.

I never truly connected with classical music. Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, etc... They're great in their own ways, sure, but I feel like emotions get overcomplicated often. Just my opinion.

I've been listening to Chopin's etudes and my favourite is
Etude Opus 10 No.4
When I heard it it was

1. Ballade no 1,2,4 Chopin
2. Etudes opus10: 1,3,4,5,8,12 opus 25: 1,7,11,12
3. "Winter Games" theme by David Foster

1. Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 (Horowitz!)
2. Marcia Alla Turca (Arrangement by Rubinstein)
3. La Campanella

Nice topic, it gives some ideas.
I don't know classical to be honest so it'd be tough, but I just "found" some 25 CDs worth of classical piano music on the Internetz in .flac format (meaning good quality) so I'll know a bit more, hehe.

For now...
- I found something I seem to like a lot. Chopin, Waltz op 62 no 2 (c# minor). Kinda current favorite...
People play it very random but I like this guy's interpretation:

- I like Canon, the George Winston version. Seems kinda much more.. living than the original.
- Indeed I need to check on some Vivaldi, I remember the four season being real nice but didn't hear it since a long, long time...

Too bad I don't have a proper sound system, classical music really requires some proper quality.
