- First: I am a pianist and "knowledgeable about music" (someone wanted to
- know)- however I'd like to point out that "just a listener" can _also_ be
- very knowledgeable; and before you make such distinctions between
- professionals and everyone else (I am not a professional), remember _who_
- music is written for, and who keeps it going (ie, your average "just a
- listener") :)
- However...
- Beethoven: #s 3, 4, and 5, but especially #4.
- Others: Probably #1 is Brahms #2. Not as majical as Beethoven, but he
- asks a hell of alot from the piano, and makes it _work_.
- Also Gershwin, Schuman, Mozart #21 and 23, Seant-Seans #2, and, yes,
- some of Bach's universal, timeless keyboard concertos (just about any one will
- do). Its been a while since I've really listened to Rachmaninoff's, so I
- cant include him on the list.
- Aside from 'musical greatness', there are a few old, familiar friends:
- McDowell, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Greig, Chopin (esp #1).
