<p>post the best piano songs</p>
<p>just about all the beethoven piano sonatas are good. but i particularly like "les adieux"</p>
<p>Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.</p>
<p>Canon is a classic</p>
<p>^^^ I agree. I'm not well versed in classical music, but Pachelbel's<br>
is one of the most beautiful songs a piano can produce.</p>
<p>In pop music, I like the Billy Joel/Elton John brand of piano songs.</p>
<p>Does anyone know where I can get a good version of Canon? Not extremely hard (since I'm going to teach myslef), but nothing to easy. (As a gauge of my level: I most recently learned Schumann's Traumerei, and I've also learned Schumann's Arabeske, and Bach's Solfeggio in C minor)</p>
<p>Bach's Goldberg Variations
orginally for a harp, but the piano version is still nice.</p>
<p>Moonlight Sonata. Sorry but I've always been in love with that one. Anything from The Pianist. Also the one at the beginning of The Truman Show.</p>
<p>In terms of classical piano, Moonlight 3rd is amazing, but unbelievably difficult. It annoys me when I hear kids at competitions butcher that piece. I also like Grieg's Concerto in A minor (the really famous one), Liszt's Mephisto Waltz, and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. As for modern/pop piano, I dunno. Billy Joel's all right, and I recently heard an interesting rendition of Walking in Memphis for piano.</p>
<p>I am very fond of Billy Joel's Waltz #1 (Nunley's Carousel)</p>
<p>It has to be Piano Man.</p>
<p>Pictures at an Exhibition is good, even though hearing the promenade over and over again can be tiring. I personally like the most famous Chopin "polonaise" even though I despise him. All of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies are pretty nice and incredibly difficult (which was his intent).</p>
<p>try this one out, it doesn't get any better ;-)</p>
<p>fantaisie impromptu</p>
<p>Khachaturian - Toccata
Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu</p>
<p>rhapsody in blue - gershwin</p>
<p>and in agreement with those above, definitely fantasie impromptu</p>
<p>fur elise, yep</p>
<p>if you want something modern...piano + acoustic + vocals....Cold Play - The Scientist</p>
<p>Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit</p>
<p>sounds cool, looks even cooler, but insanely difficult to play (I'm gonna <em>try</em> this summer...)</p>
<p>Although these songs are really simple, a couple of piano songs from the movie Les Fableaux Destins d'Am</p>
<p>Sonata No. 8 "Pathetique" 2nd Movement by Beethoven</p>
<p>Humoreske (or "Humoresque") by Dvorak</p>
<p>OMG I have grown to fallen in love playing those songs.</p>
