So, I thought I might start a thread for people to post there favorite pieces so that those looking to try something new can explore. For me, even though it's been a while since I've played it, I'm gonna have to say Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso. It has a beautiful introduction. You can just pour out your soul into it. Then, the lively midsection reminds me of waterskiing. I don't know why, but I love water skiing. Also, It has a fantastic ending that will be sure to shock your audience even if they've heard it five times already. Piano Hero Encore Rocks the 1800s! Current Assignments: Bach Prelude and Fugue in Bb Maj, D min, and C Maj from Bk I Mozart Sonata K.280 Brahms Rhapsody Op. 79 No. 2 Bartok Six Roumanian Folk Dances Prokofieff Visions Fugitives Op. 22 I'm going to Ithaca! Yay!!!

One of my favorites is Kabalevsky's Sonatina No. 2. Don't know why it's so little played. I also like Chopin's C# minor nocturne posthumous. I don't know what the meaning of life is- I'm too busy to figure it out.

Only to be closely rivaled by Rachmaninov Sonata number 2. Give that one a shot if you think you're a virtuoso! For Beethoven it was Bach - For me, its Rach...the Idol
