blondecrazygurl · 03-15-2006, 09:11 PM

Hey everyone! I am going crazy out of my mind trying to find some really great piano peices. For example..... On the soundtrack of The Corpse Bride, Victor's solo and the piano duet, are so unbelievebly beautiful..... well, I guess you would say they are more or less emotional or enchanting. I have been trying to find some really great songs the really portray that emotional feeling. I would LOVE any reccomondations!!! Thank you all so much for your help.

Also Thomas Newman - Angela Undress

I love Rachmaninoff's Concerto for Piano & Orquestra No.3.

It's sooo powerful, just great.

Beethoven's "Fur Elise" is fairly easy to play.

If you're looking for something slightly harder, go with "Musical Snuffbox Op.32" It's composed by Anatol Lyadov and its a nice little piece.

Check out La Monte Young's "The Well-Tuned Piano."

I prefer Piano Concerto 2... that intro is... wow.

Also, look up anything Debussy... he was an impressianist with quite the nack for writing incredibly beautiful pieces.

I agree totally! Canon in D - Pachebel is the most beautiful peice I've ever heard. Personally I prefer the version for strings and harpsichord but, it is also great on piano.
