I'm a massive Gregorian chants fan, Latin catholic music, most songs have pure stories. Also a big fan of patriotic classical music like rule Britania and Jerusalem.

Can't say I was ever a fan of Rule Britannia but definitely Jerusalem is a very misunderstood great song by another genius, William Blake.

good calls with Moonlight Sonata and Clair de Lune-

I'd add Rachmaninoff piano concerto #2

DeBussy Apres Midi d'un Faun

Somebody once told me, "The 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata is the most difficult bit technically, but the 1st movement is the most difficult bit to master musically".

Have fun with the 3rd Movement Once you get to it, try breaking down the beginning broken scales of the 3rd mov. in bits, short rapid movements to improve fluidity later. Fingerings are also essential!

I learnt the piece years ago...love the contrast in movements. I still have a recording of myself playing it when I was 16!

Beethoven was a genius.

Moonlight Sonatata is a great piece to begin with; it was one of the first pieces I wanted to learn.

Another piano piece, that you may want to learn is:



Sounds difficult from listening to it, but get the sheet music for it, & you will see it's not too difficult & also improves your scales & arpeggios!

If you need any sheet music, U2U me & I'll try to help

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - the new orchestrated 1982 version from the soundtrack for the 1940's Walt Disney film Fantasia conducted by Irwin Kostal - Johann Sebastian Bach

I'm quite a big fan of Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, Enigma, Enya, Mike Oldfield, Queen, and Moby. All have made some really beautiful and atmospheric music that I could easily listen to all day.

Llorando - From the film Mullholland Drive - Rebekah del Rio

Nothing to say listening to this one...

Gulliver - Angelo Branduardi

A lot of great music here!

It's great to learn music too, music can be a great influence.
Actually...one of the main reasons I learned music was to influence people in a positive way.

I feel like the only way I could make people with no voice talk, was to become popular in music. To have my say about what is good, to be influential in a positive way in the world. To free the oppressed and to heal the sick, to think with love and not judge with hate. To make this world a better place.

I feel like the only thing I can do with this life is to make music and become influential. Not rich, not the parties, not the girls, not the fame...I don't care about that stuff, it's just a waste of time. I want to be recognized for what I do and what I say and think but not idolized.

This, is my music. It is my soul. It is what brings me closer to "god".
