Beautiful Piano Pieces
on: March 19, 2015, 04:23:46 PM
Hi! Could you all suggest me some beautiful piano pieces? My kind of taste are Chopin's Etude Op 25 no.5, Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor, Ravel's Alborada del Gracioso, Liszt's La Campanella for example. Thanks!

Most everything Chopin wrote? Seriously, just with listening to the complete nocturnes and mazurkas. They're also quite playable, many of them  ;) You could learn many things by studying them, if you haven't already (which I presume you haven't, as you've stated the things you find beautiful and didn't mention them).
Rachmaninov Fantasy pieces Op 3, the first three are all nice (though the C# minor prelude is overplayed just a bit), Moments Musicaux op 16, prelude in G# minor, Prelude in G minor, prelude in d minor, most of his etudes tableaux....
Medtner Sonatas....

oh, and Bartok Etudes  ;D
