A good classical piano influence (preferably baroque)?


I need something full of energy but not happy, something that makes you thing of action or tragedy.

Bach: The Well Tempered Clavier

These pieces did not only influence the Classical style but also Romantic. Not to mention, there is a prelude and fugue in every key and it was written for the pianoforte not the harpsichord

bach, handel....

Forquerey, Jupiter premier dive, I think that's something of how it's called

Not to be rude, but your question contradicts itself. The pianoforte was just making its appearance in the 18th century classical period. But you want Baroque influence. The keyboard instruments primarily used during the Baroque were the harpsichord, clavichord, and pipe organ.

Now, you want something full of energy and not happy. Go for Bach's organ works. I particularly like his Organ Prelude in A Minor BWV 593, and his organ transcriptions of Vivaldi's violin concertos..good stuff. Also, Bach's Well Tempered Klavier is worth looking into.

Handel's sonatas are also full of energy.

Pachelbel, all the way!
