Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner - Non Classical Best Piece for Impressing a Girl?

Flowers, dinner, and listening to her, will probably impress her the most.

Forget showing off on the piano.

Whatever it is, i think it's best if she recognizes it. It will not be boring that way. People can relate to music they a refamiliar with.

Ok I am dying to know - have you chosen a piece and have you played it for her yet?

though this is an old thread, i recommend godowsky's arrangement of the swan.

"Which piece would you choose?"

Pick a piece based on how she dresses and which sociologic group she belongs to : Emo, rock chick, chav, geek, wigger, nerd, keener and so forth which should also give a clue to the music she admits to listening to...

Checkout VKGOESWILD channel on youtube. She'll send sheet music for a small donation...

If target is Emo or Rock oreinted the how about Nine inch Nails' "Hurt" or Placebo/Kate Bush "Running up that hill" or Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box".

Here's a real killer song guaranteed to make you even more of a babe magnet....


"Cat Scratch Fever"

Hey, just kidding, I couldn't resist. Stick with Fur Elise and have a great day.

Ikeboy

Yeah... c'mon joaquin112, give us an update!

If time is not much of an issue, learn this one. Sheet music available for free.



It impresses me.

If I were you I wouldn't play anything to serious, instead I'd do something fun!

Like a boogie or some blues to get her tappin' her foot haha and then you could show off some sweet improv skills!

Why try and impress. Do what you want to do. Play that wonderful discordant sonata by Xenaxis, or Prokofiev with lots of discord and fortissomos, and bewildering chromatics. Really forget the girl. Blot her out and ignore her. If she's a beauty she'll be intrigued. But if you get steamed up you won't concentrate on your playing and you'll be likely to come over as a sap.

Works every time.

Well I will have to say depends on your girl attention span and how much she really enjoy music. You can try these :S

First Love - Utada Hikaru
Moonlight Road - Amanda

If possible Franz Liszt, Liebestrum No.3
or Debussy, Clair de Lune for Twilight girls :P

Or checkout Chopin's work such as:
Nocturne No.2 - Op.9 No.2 - in Eb
Waltz - Op.64 No.2 - in C#m
Etude No.3 - Op.10 No.3 - in E (Tristesse, Sadness)
Prelude No.15 - Op.28 No.15 - in Db (Raindrop)

Schubert, Ellens Gesang III 'Ave Maria' (Piano transcribe)

J.S. Bach, Air Suite No.3 in D?

Great topic - it's generated a lot of good suggestions that I appreciate having. My suggestion is "The Summer Wind" - the theme to the movie Summer of 42. The sheet music version is a good intermediate version.
