pieces that give you a buzz (or turn you on!)

[iceman]

What are some pieces that really give you a buzz or lift your spirits? Or what are some sexy/erotic pieces that turn you on?

For example, opening of 3rd mvt of Rach 3, return of the main theme in ballade no 1, Brahms pc 1, somewhere in the middle of rach 2

or something heavenly e.g. var 18 rach pag

[Teddybear]

Such a good question, but it's too difficult...

Well, Debussy's The Afternoon of a Faun (I hope the translation's correct) gives me hope.

Otherwise... I'm completely hollow and nothing touches me. I just seem to like all the tragic pieces.

Sexy pieces... oh man, has it really come to this? I can't think of a single piece. Maybe later.

I totally agree with all of those:

-- 3rd mvt of Rach 3
-- Chopin's Ballade 1
-- Brahms PC 1 (esp mvt 1 opening, development, and coda) 
-- Rach 2 (middle of 1st mvt)

and I would add:

-- Brahms PC 2 (1st and 2nd mvts)
-- Prokofiev PC 3 (finale)
-- Beethoven PC 4 (outer mvts)
-- Bach Goldberg V's 
-- Ligeti Etudes
-- Ravel Ondine

palestrina definitely 

[ako]

- Rach's variations on a theme by corelli when the them returns in major
- Ginestera's Danzas Argentinas No. 2 - I think it's sexy
- Liszt/Schumann- Widmung (sometimes I would be crying after practicing this)

Albeniz, Iberia

[dinosaurtales]

the final movement in Chopin's B minor sonata.  Doesn't matter who plays it either, I'll melt regardless.  That said, the way Louis Lorie played it was incredible!

[rob47]

"Turn you on"
Hmm...... mabye perhaps Ravel's "Bolero"

Wow.....isn't that kind of boring?..........a little too much like............doing it with a pillow? for `14mintues?
