Or, if we're only considering piano:

In both cases here, the individual recording is very important to me, not just the piece.

This Rach Etude, the middle section is  :o



I also have more "sentimental pieces" but it's been a while since I didn't feel what I felt with this etude

@above, I think that's unfair to criticize the video game music, because so many beautiful contemporary pieces have been composed for them, especially by the Japanese (Nobuo Uematsu for instance). As long as it's piano, they're in the right place.

I like video games. I think the first five Tomb Raider games have some of the most beautiful soundtracks of any visual art form ever. But I wouldn't keep pushing them on a website that is supposed to be about classical piano music.

I know this thread is getting old, but I couldn't let it go without some Brahms. For me Brahms is perhaps the most sentimental composer and any of his later piano works (klavierstücke) deserve mention here. My favorite is probably either Op. 117 (really any of the three) or the famous Op. 118 No. 2 in A major.
