I'm interested in easy to play, but great sounding and satisfying music. Mainly classical era, though I like some video game compositions as well (FF10 has some great ones).

No problem, if your looking for video game composition with the feel of classical touch I recommend Castlevania.

For the non-video gamers, the Pride and Prejudice piano solo book has gorgeous pieces that are pretty easy.

Yes videogame music is the secret link.

https://ffmusic.ffshrine.org/

That site has a few of the piano collections from Final Fantasy, immensely popular games.

Mikrokosmos is a wonderful collection of inventive pieces for adult or young beginners. Thanks also Petter for the video game link. My list is getting interesting.

Other ideas out there? Please share.
