Nice listening collection of music.
Thank you!
I prefer more the Chopin etudes Op. 10 No 3, 4, 6, 9 and 12 and Op 25 No 2, 6, 9 and 12.
Of Bach I really love his Concerto No.5 in F minor BWV1056, his Double Concerto BWV 1043, Herr, unser Herrscher from the Johannes Passion BWV 245, his Prelude and Fugue No 12 in F minor BWV 881 from WTC2, etc.
Most of my favourite piano music is usually Schumann/Brahms/Beethoven (of the Romantic ilk). Oddly, I don't like Classical piano that much... As for Bach, I'm not a particular fan of his religious music, preferring his secular chamber music. :S
So you play piano? Me too. I have been playing for two years, and I aim to enter the Conservatory of Music in Melbourne in another 2 years time.
Yup... well, I used to. Stopped when I left high school, though that was still eleven years of piano playing... but I was never that good (lazy...!). My sister was jealous of the fact that I got distinction on grade 8 (highest grade on the highest tier 1, undergraduate pre-conservatory qualifications in the UK) on my first attempt (she needed two).
Still, I was lucky in one respect: my school had a harpsichord, which... was... awesome!
I preferred playing the violin, and I got lazy with that, too, since school politics basically prevented me from being the concert master when most people knew that I blatantly should've been. So, I went to viola and sulked there for two years!
