It depends. If I am senile, I'd probably max out with Mary Had A Little Lamb. If I am not, goodness only knows, there are so many pieces that I like love that I'd over flow the reply buffer here if I put them all down.

It depend to what song i learn. and i can't say" I like this pieces most",coz maybe there is a better pieces, which i never hear. U must write" From all of the classic pieces that you know, which do  you like best?". It's better than "which pieces is everybody's most favorite?"

say when u have cancer and u feel that ur blacking out slowly. thats an obvious sign that ur gonna die. well for me if i am to die happy it would be bach's aria from the goldberg variations and if i die uncontented, still having a lot of unaccomplished goals, it'll definetely be beethoven last sonata, first movement.

For me, it will be the 2nd movement of Beethoven's last sonata Op. 111.

I'll probably play... Liszt tarantella (the one in g-minor, with all the repeded notes), because I will first learn it, the right way, then i'll lean how to play it up-side-down, and beak both my arms while my grand piano falls down on my head.

Or it might be a brahms exercise. Because they're only pretty hard, I will get upset when I can't play one of them, and I will jump of a roof.

It might aswell be the Dante sonata. Since you get very tired by playing it, I will play it, and then get so tired that i finali fall aslepp at the piano, and go to hell (because of all the tritonus and cromatic scales)

I want to be in a concert playing rach 3 and then right after the end, collapse and faint and die.

or maybe right after I perform the entire OC, some random person will shoot me from the audience because of the aural pain.

Perhaps something spiritual.. like a Bach Piano Concerto. Also Chopin's Ballade #4, its a good piece to die for.
