Favorite Romantic Piano Piece

[lisztmusicfan]

What is your favorite Romantic-Period piano piece? Mine personally has to be either Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 or Chopin Ballade no 2. What about you???

Alkan's Concerto for Solo Piano.

It changes nearly every day, but at the moment it is Brahms Intermezzo in A major.

What about this ?

Currently studing this lovely piece:

[onwan]

Most of Chopin, some of Rachmaninoff,a few of Liszt, Scriabin and Schumann. Sorry, I couldn't be more specific. I just can't chose only one or five pieces. Maybe the top 20 or 30.

I just can't chose only one or five pieces. Maybe the top 20 or 30.

I couldn't agree with you more! I personally like Chopin and Debussy the most as well as a few other composers.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Rach 3 and rach sonata 1 boi boi...

And rachmaninoff cello sonata boi boi...

[evitaevita]

How am I supposed to do that? 
There are thousands of romantic piano pieces!!!

Well,... it's something by Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, etc.

I just can't chose only one or five pieces. Maybe the top 20 or 30.

I must agree with this.
Maybe I could list 20 or 30 or even 40 pieces...

Gosh that's a tough question. It would probably be a Chopin. Maybe the the Raindrop prelude.

My favorite piece changed. It is now Schumann Little Study from Album for the Young :

[h_chopin148]

Chopin Ballade no. 1, Chopin heroic Polonaise, and a lot more Chopin and a lot of Rachmaninoff...

I certainly agree with that one, and it is a VERY hard question indeed. Thanks to all who have replied. I find Rach's scond piano concerto mezmerizing and I also love anything by Chopin and Liszt.
