So, to all pianoforte players out there, I have a few questions.

What are your favorite periods? Composers? Do you have a piano of your own? An upright? A grand? A digital keyboard? A Bosendorfer :O?

And name some pieces you like, plox. I love learning about new pieces.

For me, I love French Impressionistic, Romantic, Late Classical, and Contemporary the best in that order.

My favorite composers are Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin, Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, and Barber, in that order.

And some of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard? Here.

1. Scriabin Etude Op.8 No.12

2. Liszt Totentanz

I've been playing piano for a while now, and could link you to some lovely pieces, but I'm not sure of your level of playing. I myself am currently working on some of the Praeludium and Fugas from Das Wohltemperierte Klavier, particularly this fugue in E minor:

Ehh, I've been learning for about 8 years, and I'm learning all the pieces in the first post, excepting the final one, which I played a couple of years ago. :)

I'm also learning La Campanella below. :)

I'm not a fan of Bach, tbh though.

Rachmaninoff was such a badass.

As was Liszt, but I already mentioned him. ^_^

I can't play this, but you may enjoy this -- it's a lovely Liszt piece.
