    Go listen to Beethoven's 'Waldstein Piano Sonate'. It is so good!

    That Knome (interesting spelling) looks of age for R-rated material!

    BTW...I've never been a huge fan of piano concertos, or solo pieces....naturally I can appreciate the Great Works and such, but for the most part I've always found the piano to sound a little flat when included with an orchestra.

    However, about a year ago a good friend of mine lent me Chopin's Nocturnes....and I listen to at least one of them almost daily. Hauntingly beautiful!

    Give that lady a medal!!!!

    All you EVER hear about on this forum is guitar guitar guitar guitar guitar guitar guitar.

    I'm not saying I'm especially fond of the piano, although I have been known to enjoy playing it and I like it enough to appreciate that there comment made then there just. Do we still do karma points on this board?

    sorry to advertise myself - but rgpaddlers 'quand la lune est pleine' (when the moon is full) is also hopefully worth listening to - put rg paddler into google - hope you find it

    i love the piano/vocals only versions of 'a shropshire lad' and the songs of george butterworth

    I'll look for it. I've got the Moonlight, but never heard of this one, actually. Is it also known by another name?

    for great insight for what the piano can do for music, i say check out mozarts piano concerto 20 or 21....or any of them.

    I have been playing the piano for over thirty years, and even though it's what I do for a "living" (things are better now, but for years it was nuts), it's more than that: a passion that overshadows nearly all existence..well, nearly.

    If anyone is interested, I have a couple of original instrumental CDs and a modern classical CD (all, so far, unreleased.) Would be glad to share.

    My favorite work for piano is Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 1. It is something out of this world. If you think you have heard some psychedelic music, give that a listen and tell me that psychedelic themes didn't exist in 1926?!

    I enjoy beethoven's theme and variations more than i do his sonatas... although, that being said, his compositions are all stellar. This is just a personal preference. i actually think his strongest contributions to the canon of western art music are his string quartets... most people say his symphonies and his piano works.. I dont know, his string quartets send shivers down my spine

    Frankly I'm not very fond of Beethoven, and think he might be a tiny bit overrated (yeah yeah he was great, but he wasn't the only great composer over hundreds of years of musical history...), luckily for me he is but a really small part of classical music.
    I love this small pieces a lot among many others:
