Can you give me some help with a new piece?


OK so Im really looking for a new romantic, slow song to play. Im looking for a classical piece somewhat like moonlight sonata, 1st mov. I like the flow and passion and i love to play it. I also like the style Erik Satie gympnopedies no.1. Any advice is appreciated!

Although...I LOVE the first guy's suggestions...they are NOT classical. And the second guy.....i don't even know....

Anyway...hopefully these are more in line with what you want:

Chopin Prelude in E minor Op. 28 No. 4

Chopin Prelude Op. 28 No. 15 (Raindrop)

Beethoven - Sonata op. 13 (Pathetique) - You'll really love the 2nd mvt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2nG1bt7I...

Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C# minor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtuMVBLEW...

ANY music performed by the Mantovani Orchestra (strings) is wonderfully romantic!

Everything the third person answered would be great. I'm sure that you'd love Beethoven's Pathetique and you can never go wrong with Chopin or Rachmaninoff, as far as I'm concerned. Any of their works should suit your tastes, judging by the pieces that you said you liked.

Please try Debussy's "Sunken Cathedral" (aka "Engulfed Cathedral" or "Cathedral Engloutie"). It is one of my favorites.

I think that I'm # 6 responder. Just wanted to reiterate what #'s 2,3,4 and 5 recommended: especially the Chopin Preludes. You'll love them.

Try One of Rachmaninov's pieces:

Let see, slow romantic pieces, huh?

Try these

Rachmaninov's Preludes, opus 23, Numbers 4, and 6
Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a theme of Paginini, variation 18
Chopin: nocturne in E-Flat major
Debussy: Clair De Lune
Liszt: consolation 3 in D-Flat major
Beethoven: Sonata 8 "Apethatique," 2nd movement
Schumann-- Kindersenen, All strange lands and people/Reverie
Rachmaninov-- Moment Musical No. 3

I like:
Serenade by F.P. Schubert
Nocturne by F.Chopin
Scene from Swan Lake by P.I. Tchaikovsky
