Are there any piano pieces you like?

Bump :yellow_heart:

Many of them, really! If I had to narrow it down though, I particularly enjoy Beethoven’s PathĆ©tique’ Sonata, Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D major (K 448), The Great Gate of Kiev from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Chopin’s Ɖtude op. 10 no. 4, Beethoven’s ā€˜Rage Over a Lost Penny’ and Brahms’ Sixteen Waltzes no. 15 in A flat major.

I love playing Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin, it’s so lively and energetic (I love ragtime!) Also trying my luck with Chopin’s minuten waltz (rlly hard but really good too!) and I’m thinking about learning Fantasie Impromptu - gonna be a nightmare to learn but it’s an absolutely beautiful piece! :laughing:

Big fan of some Bach pieces as well, but more of his Cello suites than his piano pieces. :heart:

I’m not as good with the names of the pieces lol but I’m a huge fan of Chopin and Brahms’ pieces as well! Nice to know there’s people in the community with same enjoyment for classical music!

And I love Scott Joplin as well - how could I forget him? Bach is another of my favourite composers as well!

I’m a bit late to this thread, but my favorite piece to play is Chopin’s Prelude in E Minor (Op. 28, No. 4). It is a beautiful, melancholy piece. It’s also not too complicated as Chopin goes. Chopin even requested it to be played at his funeral. :blob_turtle:

I’m currently binging Ludovico Einaudi :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I just learned A Fuoco and would love to learn this one next:

I should probably be finishing my own songs, though :sweat_smile:
Is there anyone else who writes their own compositions? :heart:

Well, I am practicing a little bit everyday. I think that you shouldn’t force yourself into it tho, because then you may take it more as a duty than as a hobby :sweat_smile: I think that for me it’s better to play for about 30 minutes everyday than for example two hours in one piece in a week or so. So I’d definitely recommend that :innocent:
And for the songs I already learned…I really love playing popular songs more than symphonies, because it’s a) much easier for me to remember because I sing the words in my head and b) I can learn it from videos on youtube, so it’s quite accessible for everyone (so for instance I’ve already learned - Shallow, Summertime Sadness, Ocean Eyes or The Hanging Tree from Hunger Games :heart:)
But I’d like to learn the whole Für Elise symphony, I only can play the shortened version of it :sweat_smile:

Thanks, Katherine! Although I’m far from talented. :sweat_smile: I wish I had a knack for music, but my skill comes from years and years of making mistakes and learning from them. Composing is actually easier for me since I read sheet music at a snail’s pace. :snail:

Sometimes a strong memory or emotion moves me to compose, but most of the time I’m just struggling with learning a song (or getting bored with it), so I mess around and accidentally create something new in the process.

Rhapsody on a theme of Paganinini is the last piano piece I listened to and loved

Well, that’s interesting :sweat_smile: yeah it can get boring sometimes when the song is too long or when it seems too complicated for me as a beginner, but most of the time I enjoy learning my favourite songs very much :blush:
