hey! it's going well! I'm glad to be back. See my posts in the "ten best books" thread for a brief life update...

Alrighty!

Its Rach Prelude op.32 #1, only recently learnt it, but for Rach it's surprisingly nice on the fingers.

I love playing Faure's Barcarolle no 1. It's simply magical, and it's a big favourite with my friends too. And Pagodas from Estampes too, love the Orientalism, and it's a hit among my friends too.

actually, now i like playing Chopin's Andante Spinato.

meditative reasons i guess...

Thanks a lot, NAK

I just got the music to that one(Faure) and hopefully I'll have the time to finish my current work asap so I can get started on it.
gminor rhapsody so passionate i love to play this one again.

The Barcarolle is pretty quick and easy to learn for me to learn. I actually managed to get the notes down surprisingly in one week few months last year. Anyway, if you are feeling more gutsy, I recommend Barcarolle no 2, which I think is more beautiful and much larger in scale than the 1st. I just performed Faure's Nocturne no 1 and no 4 last Sunday, and no 4 is another of my favourite to play.

Chopin Nocturne in Bb minor, Op. 9, No. 1 is my current favorite. Maple Leaf Rag is a lot of fun, too.

Beethoven Op.28
Debussy Pour le piano

Also, Beethoven Op.109 and Op.110 but I've only learned the first movements for now.

Good choice! The D major section in the 2nd movement is very fun to play.

Welcome to the forums!

I've always liked the Capriccio from Bach's Partita No. 2 in C minor. Makes me happy every time I hear it or (try to) play it. It's no longer up to "recital standards"

Thanks.

Yes, Op.28 has long been a favorite of mine, I find it's also much harder than it looks - especially the second movement.

The Rhapsody In Blue and the Chopin Ab Polonaise always give me a kick to play, even after many years. One or two of my own earlier pieces have stood the test of time in this regard too.

I love love love, cant emphasize how much i like these two. Im dying to see the day i can play it for many years like you do and still get a huge kick out of it.

I like Debussy's Doctor Gradus Ad Parnassum. It's so much fun!!

i still love brahms gminor rhapsody even though i still find myself crumpling under the weight of it. that's why i'm trying to relearn it hoping to conquer it this time.

I am really into the 1st mov. of the pathetique lately. Its a very emotional peice, and its really fun to play!

Oh, I will add Chopin's Ballade no. 1 op. 23 to my list of favorite pieces to play (the other was his Polonaise in A-flat major, op. 53).
