The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music

A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

Bach, beautiful, and not too advanced... How about 1) the allemande from the D-major partita, 2) WTC volume 1 Bb minor prelude, and  3) WTC volume 2 F minor prelude?

The Bach piece that I've ever come to developing emotions over was the Partita 2. All the movements are gorgeous: from the grave/mysterious beginning, to the raging allemande at the end. It's enormously difficult though, wish I could play it =/.
