Piano music for Easter? Do you know any pieces?
on: April 17, 2022, 12:50:49 PM
Hello everyone! I was just thinking I wanted to learn some classical piano music that's about or related to the Easter Holidays. But I can't think of any pieces! It would be fun to play something Easter related even if I maybe thought about it a bit late :P Do y'all have any suggestions?

It's a large work and not for piano but you can make it work. Here's a section which I really like for Easter Friday. You must play very quietly the support so the melody can sing through and sustain, tough but wonderful.

That's a good question actually, I can honestly not think of any. Which is kinda strange, hasn't Easter always been a big Western holiday?

Thank you both for your replies! I guess my fears have been confirmed, there isn't a lot to choose from...  :'(
