Anyone who can recommend a classical piece?

[shadowandlight]

I heard a very brilliant piece once. Sadly I can't remember the name of the composer or the piece. It was really explosive, and different from all the sad, minorpieces
All the notes took me by surprise! It wasn't predictable, as other pieces are. It's not beautiful, it's... special. (Kind of like Poetic Tone Pictures)

Can anyone recommend pieces of this type?

Classical? Try some Beethoven Sonatas  Maybe you heard the Hammerklavier. Really, the only "explosive" "classical" composer is Beethoven, and his explosive sonatas are somewhat Romantic.

what grade are you at now?that would really help...

[shadowandlight]

Beethoven? It's exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for.
I don't know my grade, but I have played alot of difficult pieces. If not, I'd like a challenge

[minstrel]

Schumann Soaring or Whims are both explosive *kind of. Check them out.. In German editions they are called Aufschwung and Grillen

[elevateme_returns]

do you mean classical classical, or classical as in not popular.

[amelialw]

explosive, brilliant? sounds like Mendelssohn or Schumann to me...

[counterpoint]

Ravel Sonatine or Chopin Scherzo

[elevateme_returns]

hey, i was wondering, could anyone help? i once heard this piece, it was a major key because it was happy sounding, and the start note was not very loud. can anyone tell me what piece is was?

[mephisto]

Beethoven's Waldstein sonata?

[elevateme_returns]

hahaha. nice try. lol

[amelialw]

do you know what key it is in?

[moi_not_toi]

explosive...classical...minor, but not really "Emo" like most....

I'm stumped.

Another clue, perhaps?

(at the moment, I'm thinking of Scherzo 2 by Chopin or Les Adieux [whtevr] by beethoven, which is pretty cool, for classical...)

[amelialw]

does the mood of the piece change alot? I'm thinking Mendelssohn's Rondo Cappriccioso

[keyofc]

How about Golliwog's Cakewalk?  Or is that not classical afterall? By Debussy - but I get the eras mixed up!
I'm just thinking of something that sounds happier....
That's the impression I get you're looking for.

Great minds etc.! I thought of the same piece. Heard Serkin perform it once... wow...

[mycrabface]

la campanella - liszt

[mycrabface]

It only changes thrice or so and uses the same two moods...

[amelialw]

is it in a major key for a while and then changes into minor key and has bits in between in a major key?and does it have octaves at the end?

I know the exact piece you're talking about.  Scriabin Prelude Opus 11 No. 7.  Fits your description exactly--explosive, different from all other pieces, and all the notes will take you by surprise.  All of them, baby! It's unpredictable, and special.....kind of like.....oh I don't know, like a poetic tone picture.   That's your piece.  Problem solved.
