I like Jeremy. At times we've sat in the East Commonlands tunnel discussing which Beethoven piano sonata is best. I still maintain No. 12 and No. 23 as my top two.

No. 8

You're a pussy! You listen to songs with words like Sugarplum and Fairies in it!!!

All that aside, Schubert's Impromptu #4 and Chopin Ballade #1 are some of my top favorites as well! Debussy's Children's Corner is also A+. Hard to pick out a favorite

Schubert's Impromptu #4

I can play that one! I can play all the stuff from Op. 90 except No. 1 actually - great stuff! I learned the No. 3 in G-Flat first as a youth, picked up the others some time later. I adore Schubert. Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy Op. 15 is a personal favorite.

I've always wanted to learn that Chopin Ballade, Zagum! It is probably a little much for me at this point being slightly out of practice. I've only learned a couple of Chopin Preludes, Etudes, and Nocturnes - never got around to learning a Ballade, Scherzo, Mazurka, Waltz, or Sonata. The most recent Chopin I've learned is the Nocturne Op. 27 No. 1 in C-Sharp minor (not the more famous posthumous one) - I absolutely love this piece. I would really like to learn more of the Etudes as I only learned Op. 10 No. 12 (The Revolutionary) and Op. 25 No. 1 (The Aeolian Harp) and there are so many good ones.

Don't even get me started on Beethoven! I'm glad we can hijack this thread for a classical piano discussion =)

I will have to agree for the most part. There is not much that Chopin does wrong. Schubert, I lean toward preference of his lieder. His settings of Goethe, Mueller, and Heine are some of the best.

Debussy is hit and miss with me. I love his experimentation with tonal colours, but some of his other works can be derivative. Items such as L 91 Nocturnes and Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune are among his best (and most popular). I find French music from the Romantic period to be hit and miss as a whole, however.

Mahler, on the other hand, ranks in my top three composers, as well as Wagner (though that should be no surprise [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ).

Excellent. I have a number.

I don't know who that is posting under "Smitez" but it looks a lot like an old FE member who joined IB. One who rarely plays but talks ALOT of trash!

Anyway, when Jeremy sent me the first tell from "tasslehoff" I knew it was him, hence my rude reply. I figured a tread like this was imminent as soon as I saw the name [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, but I hear he's hung like a donkey.
