depends on the mood, and how energetic.  i wish i could play chopin etudes like some people, but i'm sightreading thru all the preludes (instead of the etudes like lostinidlewonder suggested).  it has been fun and not as difficult (yet challenging) as i thought.  i think i excel in beethoven and mozart - but i don't confine myself to a list really.  today i printed out a slew of irish music that noone has probably heard of.  i'm going to arrange it and surprise people with something different next year on st. patrick's day.

[luda888]

ill pick a few..........
choipins prelude - 4, 15, 20
chopin nocturne - op48 no1, op.posthum
beethoven sonata - moonlight

I have recently fallen in love, even more deeply than I had when I first heard it performed, with Chopin's Raindrop prelude through playing it. It might be one of the most famous and most played preludes, but that doesn't distract from it's beauty IMO.
For nocturnes, that famous one in Eb major is a beaut, but I haven't heard many others.

My favourite Beethoven sonata would have to be between Moonlight and Pathetique, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Again, two of the most popular pieces in the world to play, but still they hold their beauty.
