No one? Guess i'll start it off.

The Sonata is my all time favourite.

Some more of my ABSOLUTE favourites are...(In no order).

Transcendental Etudes 9-12.
Un Sospiro.
Vallée d'Obermann.
Les cloches de Genève: Nocturne.
Sonetto 104 del Petrarca.
Ballade No. 2 in B minor.
Pensée des morts.
Variations on a theme from Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen.
Réminiscences de Norma.
Piano Concerto No. 2.

Away from the piano...

Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale Ad nos, ad salutarem undam (Although I prefer the solo piano transcription).
Les Préludes.
Eine Symphonie zu Dante's Divina Commedia.
Christus.

Many more favourites are more inconsistently among my favourites, so these are the main ones, for now. Changes very frequently though.

So what about you guys?
