Hi, its holly.

What is your favourite eve song you have learned to play?????
You can give two or three.

Mine are

Rose (titanic)

Moonlight Sonata movement 1

I both really love those songs and enjoy playing them, please leave your comments.

Bye, happy piano playing

ughhh....mvt.1 of moonlight sonata is so over rated. mine are

Pathetique Sonata mvt.1-beethoven

Revolutionary etude-chopin

and i am learning deux arabesque by Debussy which is very fun and is a nice piece. i have tons of other favorite pieces that i like but am either too occupied to play, or just am not at the level yet

From a performance viewpoint my favourite piece that I have recently learnt is 'Premiere communion de la Vierge' from 'Vingt Regards' by Messiaen. There is so much that you can bring to the piece, the contrast is like fire and ice

Though I can't play it, my all-time favourite solo piano piece is Debussy's 'L'isle joyeuse'. How cool is it when the lyrical middle theme comes back for the coda!

on a simpler scale Satie's Gnossiennes still do it for me. My favourite of those is the second one

Hmm... Favourite PIECES that I can play are:

Chopin's Revolutionary
Chopin's Nocturne Op.27 No.2
Rach Bumblebee

Ernst von Dohnanyi's 4 Rhapsodies!

They'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr great!...

Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. But i don't play it anywhere near well enough.

I can't say that I like any particular song....I just like to play. Just about anything I can halfway play pleases me.

ooohh i love scott joplin

bits from Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis, and the Bach Prelude and Fugues book1 are good (but then again I am also an organist, so that explains the Bach obsession!)

Chopin - Etude in E Major, Op. 10 No. 3
Brahms - Hungarian Dance in F# Minor, No. 5
Tchaikovsky - Nutcracker Suite (love most of them anyways)
Gershwin - I Got Rhythm
Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue (haven't played it.... yet)
Debusy - The Girl with Flaxen hair (i think that's the title....)

so far these are my favourite... i like a few mozart sonatas but can't quite remember the title

Since I'm just a beginner on piano (just over a year), my pieces are very limited but my fav will always be Mozart's Sonata in C major K.545.

Why? Because it' was the first proper classical piece I was given to learn and I was given it after around 6-7 months since I started and I cant stop playing it and I love it! @___@ hoo hooOOooOo!

my fave is "a little joke" by kabelevsky. it's easy but it's fun and i play it all the time.

that brings back memories

The Mozart D minor Fantasia I think is one of my most favoutrites so far.
Really enjoyed learning that.

I love that too. Many memories of trying to learn the hard bits, took me ages.

I'm learning that at the moment and I'm really enjoying it. I have also enjoyed learning a lot of pieces by Debussy as they're quite different from anything else I've played really.

My grade 6 ones i love them to bits.. its corant B3 and i need to jude on C1 when i play it lol

what do u mean, jude on C1?!?!?!

Liebestraum by Franz Liszt has both the qualities of being beautiful and challenging!

the only one i can think of at the moment is maple leaf rag. I know its a bit basic to all u people who can play bumblebee and that but i think its got a good tune. But still i wouldnt call it my favourite. When i have looked through more songs i will tell u.

I love Maple Leaf Rag too.

Gershwin prelude no. 1 . Very fun to play.

Probably Fur Elise or Moonlight Sonata. Actually I quite like Into the West from the Lord of the Rings and Phantom of the Opera. Oh I don't know!

I am a very inexperienced pianist but I keep attempting to play an old Grade 3 piece - Anglaise in D minor (Anon), which I think sounds pretty.
