What are your favorite pieces?
It's my favorite music, anybody feel the same?
I'll start - my absolute favorite piece is Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor.

Moonlight Sonata

Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition
Bach's Well Tempered Clavier is my favorite music for studying
Orff's Carmina Burana also has some favorites in it

But, since it's Christmas time, I'll have to go with the Nutcracker Suite. Can one really ever have enough of the Sugar Plum Fairy? Heh-heh.

"Chopin was the baddest MF to ever play the piano."

Rachmaninoff wasn't shabby, either, but Chopin was definitely a bad MF too. Which brings to mind my personal favorite Rachmaninoff, the Piano Concerto Number 2.
