I play the piano, so I love listening to piano works. But if you aren't into it you should check out Beethoven's symphonies and string quartets especially the late ones. I would say that his String Quartet in C# minor, Op. 131 is one of the most powerful pieces I know.

I guess that will get you started. If you like the Chopin a lot look into more composers from the Romantic period like Liszt, Shumann, Tchaikovsky. And If you like the Beethoven, look into Schubert and Mozart as well.
