Child? I'm 15, my signature piece is Chopin's Nocturne in E flat major... I started piano two years ago, so there isn't much else ha ha

Haha there are alot of Fur elise's!
yes, that piece amazed me and I really wanted to be able to play it when i was a kid. Its rather annoying now!

The piece that i lfell in love with which turned me to classical music is Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini!

Its magical and that was the first piece I learned to play on the piano.

Another one for Fur Elise.
Unfortunately I learned it when I was ~6 so to this day, I play with the same fingering I used then leaving out a couple of notes but I played it best back then. I dusted off the piece a couple years after learning it winning a talent competition of over 200 contestants. Few years later, I played it again, and won, at a smaller talent competition.

My last three pieces were the unavoidable "For Elise", a solo piano version of the "Adagio" of Benedetto Marcello and Schubert's "Serenade". I did not like the last one (it depressed me even on my best days, and I have many...), whilst I always liked Benedetto Marcello and of course For Elise.

Anyway, no one of these pieces is the one that I remember with most fondness; that would be Gossec's "Gavotte", the first piece I could play that I considered "real piano music" and a melody that I remember very fondly to this day.....

You should switch to "Dixie."

Shadow Dance by Edward MacDowell is a wonderful crowd-pleaser. I didn't win anything with it, though, so I do enjoy Chopin's Waltz in E Minor too.
