"Must have" piano sheet music?

[chapplin]

I've just received a gift card on a music-shop. And might just throw this out there,
What is some "must have" sheet music to get? Which you will go through numerous times in your life?
I'm talking like, Bach P&F, Beethoven Sonatas, Chopin Etudes.

Having a weakness for such things, my "must have" sheet is the one I am looking at at the time.

That said, the Well Tempered Clavier and the Beethoven Sonatas have been descrived as the Old and New Testament of the piano; andy collection would be seriously incomplete without them, and they will provide a lifetime of pleasure and education - should they hold out that long, of course - I'm on my third Beethoven set.

A full set of all Debussy's works would be nice. However, I have a weakness for these things, like j_menz, and the answer to this is usually the composer I am thinking about. A complete set of Chaminade's piano works would be nice too.

Lol in my case I say the Chopin Waltzes. If you need to learn something that sounds good, and you need to learn it fast, those pieces always come in handy.

...Such a thing doesn't exist in one set to my knowledge, but you can buy everything separately. Get on it!

Definitely Bach Inventions and Sinfonias.
