Can anybody tell me some of their favorite pieces (for piano), and give me a link to them if they're not on this site?

I'd love to hear other people's favorites :) And since I haven't really been able to find a ranking order of "most downloaded" sheet music, I figured I would ask here.

Personally, I like kind of mellow yet somewhat deep pieces, like Spirited Away's "The Sixth Station" or Himiko-Den's "Pure Snow" but I'm interested in hearing everything.

Thanks, if you post your opinion! ^.^

Clair de Lune, by Debussy:http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/dlpage_new.cfm?composition_id=1640
will add more over time if thread is still here...

thank you - I just printed a copy and that piece is gorgeous!
have you ever played "Des pas sur la neige" by Debussy? That one's pretty too

Beethoven - Sonate Num. 8 "Pathetique" Op. 13


Sorry no link. Just fun.

like maestro~, "Pathetique" is also my fave, but only the first movement. and i also love chopin's waltz, grande valse brilliante(Op. 18) in e flat major. as for anime, i like the themes from boys be(here in ichigos) and to heart from josh's site

No Link again-just saying Lol.

Chopin - Nocturne in E Flat Major, Op. 9 (No. 2)

Very popular song.

have you ever played "Des pas sur la neige" by Debussy? That one's pretty too
is there another name? ive never heard of it before

For maestro's reccomendations:
Pathetique sonata-http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/dlpage_new.cfm?composition_id=138
Nocturne in E flat-http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/dlpage_new.cfm?composition_id=201

oooh I love Chopin. He's definitely one of my favorite composers, if not the favorite.
I have a friend working on Pathetique - isn't that one of Beethoven's most famous works? hehe it's so long, I printed out the first page anyways though to try it out.

Eva- I think translated from french it means something like "From on top of the snow" or "Across the snow" or something along those lines... that's all I know about other names. For a Debussy it's not particularly difficult. I have it in my copy of the Henle Album ;) I love that book

Speaking of which, has anybody here every played Skrjabin? (also Scriabine and Skryabin) I just found one of his 1-page preludes and it's beautiful ^.^

btw, thanks for the links ^.^

^^ Double-poster ^^

Anyway.. an easy way to remmeber Beethoven's "popular" or more renouned favorite works, have a name for them. "Pathetique" or my personal favorite piece by Beethoven, "Les Adieux" (3rd movment)

EDIT:

Some other good Beethoven Sonatas are:

"Waldstien"
"Hammerklavier"
"Tempest" < GREAT GREAT
"Moonlight" (Actually, this wasn't named by Beethoven!)

Some other ones. just the better ones

Oh Fx. Hmm.. Lemme see the name for the "Tempest"

Like the 'structure name'

HERE:

Piano Sonata in D Minor - "Tempest" (Op. 31/2)

Sorry about the double post...
I'm kind of new to the forums and I meant to "edit" the previous post but I think I messed up.

anyways - eva thanks a million, that sheetmusicarchive site is one of my new favorites ^.^ "Tempest" is beautiful.

I'm still working on that Debussy - I can't stop, it's so fun :P

It is isn't it?

Hmm.. It's been a few months since I've tried the Tempest. I should try to play the first movment now. It isn't improssible.

I like a lot of compositions......

But lately im playing Anime Music and Duets with my students :heh:

Ravel's Mother Goose Suite &
Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin(translation?)
no links,sorry:cry:

hoshizora no waltz, sung by minami kuribayashi from kimi ga nozomu eien
back image music, by i've sound for please teacher
someday the dream will end, by nobuo uematsu for final fantasy x
broken wings, sung by tomoko tane from trinity blood
reverie, by claude debussy

all of the other classical stuff i play i don't know the names of off the top of my head. i just know i i liked some piano concerto by sergei rachmaninov, a lot of pieces by frederic chopin and peter tchaikovsky. classical music, although i like it, has never been what i practiced up until very recently. when i was little, i started on pop, refusing to play classical or jazz like my parents wanted me to. then i headed off into game music, and that actually got me into wanting to play classical. when i'm not so lazy, i'll dig up the actual titles of the classical pieces i enjoy playing.

Prokoviev's Peter and the Wolf. Great music.

Those Who Fight (advanced version) and Tifa's Theme. The first, cause its soooo damn fun to play and the second cause it sounds nice lol!

The Dying Swan-Tchaikovsky, from Swan Lake ballet

Usually a cello piece but....I guess if you really wanted to play it on the piano you could. I warn you, this piece will make you weep uncontrolably, especially if you see the ballet choreography with it as well.

Tchaikovsky is the greatest:)

Some of my favourites

Journey to the West and Theme from Princess Mononoke
Fugainaiya and Waltz piano from Honey and Clover

L'Isle Joyeuse and Arabesque No.1, Debussy
http://imslp.ca/images/e/ee/Debussy_-_L'Isle_Joyeuse.pdf
