I love playing Chopin's Op.64 No.1 Waltz, and my own piano transcription of Bach's Toccata and Fuge in D-minor BWV.565

i absolutly-hands down love the Moonlight Sonata Movement no. 27 in C# Minor, by Beethoven. it has a haunting, moody arrangement, but is tricky and catchy to play, yet it's one of the easiest and slowest classical pieces to play. but i don't recommend it to begginners, but to the intemediate-advanced players who can read sheet music like nobody's business. [i.e., i only can play the first measure of the song.] -alicia*

Right now my favourite piece to play is Beethoven sonata Op.110 in Aflat major, I specially enjoy playing the fugue.

The pieces I've had the most fun with recently are Debussy's Poissons d'or and the last movement of Prokofiev 7.

Definitely the minute waltz, it is so fun all the way leading up to the end with that long and extremely fast run

Pianodevo - I used to love playing Dedication esp towards the end! I placed 2nd in a competition a few years ago when 30 people of my age played the same exact piece. I'm proud of that accomplishment to this day. What a fun piece of music.
As of now, I'd have to say Beethoven's Pathatic all 3 movements. I esp love the 3rd because it's so energetic.

Ditto. I love playing this one. Unfortunately, it is rather overplayed and I recently heard some little ***** of a kid rush through it at double tempo missing more than half of the notes AT A RECITAL. WTF was his teacher THINKING??? Idiots... [/b] Exactly.

Un sospiro by Liszt is a favorite of mine.. I just played it a recital today!
Music presents at once the intensity and the expression of feeling... the intelligible essence of feeling, capable of being apprehended by our senses. It permeates them like like a ray, like a mist, like a spirit, and fills our soul." -Franz Liszt

Rachmaninoff Etude-Tableux op. 39, no.8. I learned it awhile back, but I still play it all the time.
