Twinkle Twinkle little stars (right hand only), not the complicated mozart version. Played on for 4 boards? 

(Choose any octave you want).

Ahh, what will you say to me?

Most of the first mvt. of Shostakovich's 2nd PC is in unison.

Forgive my ignorance  ::) ::), but what does it mean that a piece is ALL UNISON?

A piece with only one note. Not even octaves. So one key on the piano only.

Ok, thanks  :)

Not classical, but there is A VERY FAMOUS brasilian theme named "SAMBA DE UNA SOLA NOTA", whose translation would be "SAMBA OF A SINGLE NOTE". It can be a good candidate  :) :) (it probably hits other notes, tough).

It is actually in Portuguese (language spoken in Brazil) "SAMBA DE UMA NOTA SO"...

Unison is basically both hands or one hand playing pure octaves only, and you can hit different notes.

Alkan's grande etude Op.76 no.3 is all parallel octaves (except for three chords at the very end).
