The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

I love the e minor one. It is easier than the other toccatas, so you can play a beautiful piece in a shorter amount of time. The other toccatas are fun to learn and nice,too.
Beethoven Op 2/2
Chopin Op 20, maybe op 47/38
Debussy Etude 7
Grieg Op 16
Want to do:
Chopin Concerti 1 and 2
Beethoven Waldstein
Ravel Miroirs

Yes they are all beautiful and fun to play.

The best for whom?  ;D

Why not give the BWV 911 in C minor one a try?
Not for the faint-hearted, though.  ;)

Best,
M.W.
