Help with identifying a piece!
on: March 10, 2011, 07:06:53 PM
Hi everyone!

I study medicine and work extra at the Yamaha Pianocenter in Stockholm, Sweden. On a normal day at work people of varying skill come in and try the instruments giving me a chance to enjoy some really pleasant moments.

The other day a guy came in and played a piece that many seem to be playing nowadays. It's sort of the same level as Nyman's "The heart asks for pleasure first" and I'd really like to take a closer look.

This is of course extremely diffuse but I guess I'm wondering what pieces are popular right now? Just as Nyman's pleasure is a piece many play.

Thanks for help!

Let me guess: Yann Tiersen, comptine d'un autre éte?



 Or Valse d'Amelie?
