Title: Classical
Post by: leemay001 on December 18, 2003, 11:52:12 AM: I'm pretty hopless at piano but I'm starting to take it seriously now. All I need is to know a few good calssical songs that are fairly easy but not to easy to play and where I can find them. Finding free sheet music online is getting harder and harder it seems...

As you said 'song', i think that you should use the word 'piece'

'Song' is refered as vocal piece by singers.

to your question.
Try
Beethoven: Fur Elise(i hate to say that, but it's everyone's piece, everyone will learn it one day), minute in G, moonlight soanta 1st movement.

then you can do some more intense technique aimming study then go off to Chopin, then you can post a message again

for sheetmusic website

as i mentioned

ED has now frightened off many would-be listeners of classical music with his inane snobbery, i might now try and recomend you try to play alkans concerto for solo piano. But that would be a joke, because your feeble abilities arent enough to comprehend its grandeur. I dont correct people when they say SONG instead of PIECE, i just get very angry, but hold back my rage, then later i take it out on a punch bag(friend). Now i have to lie down and listen to a nice relaxing song by LISZT called totentanz.

"Beethoven: Fur Elise(i hate to say that, but it's everyone's piece, everyone will learn it one day), minute in G, moonlight soanta 1st movement."

Yes well, I already learned Fur Elise, and I learned SOME of moonlight sonata. I guess I'll finish it off first then try minuet in G after... thanks. Oh and once again, sorry about the mix up. :-[
