My Top 10 Classical Piano Solo Pieces

[zarlitoz]

baremboin interpretando el movimiento lento de la sonata hammerklavier, ése si es un numero 1

[TheLolMenPeople]

Liszt, Presto Strepitoso, that piece is literally (I mean literally) unplayable. No on has played it without mistakes and maintaining speed. Since it can't be really counted, El Contrabandista is an amazing virtuosic peice

[MrSebas56]

i dont like the top, more chopin, more liszt....

[visarat100]

Liszt "Lacampanella"

[katastafi]

My Favorite and the best of all time is Rondo alla turca (turkish march) omg! i wanna learn to play piano just for that song!

[sahul9000]

What happened to Canon in D

[Sword1479]

@sahul9000 That piece has no reason to be in the top 10 of "best" lists.

[Visuder]

There's one song that sounds almost same as that first one there (number ten that is) and I'm trying to find it terrible but I can't find it! It's something Sonata (or sonate, depends how you write it dunno) and it is made in 1790-1800 if I remember correctly! And the name had Van or something in it (IF I JUST REMEMBER CORRECTLY :D). But yeah, anyone know? And it went A B A B A, then it went C D E D E C. I mean the 'chapters' not vocals (Blah my music vocabulary is bad)

[qwertyasdyaln]

THis list does totally depends on the listener

[binodaelephant]

my top three list is 1. Fugue for String Quartet op.133 by beethoven 2. Piano Sonata No.12 in A-flat major, Op. 26: I. Andante con Variazioni by beethoven 3. Libestraum No. 3 in A-Flat major, S. 541-3 4. by Liszt

[lklkhjhjdfs]

j'aime bien ta liste à part le 9 et le 10 j'aurais mis un morceau de scriabin et surement un de schubert .

[tslabjr7]

i need an orchestra/ classical music expert to indentify a peice for me. it's a modivational peice used in a basketball tribute for a very good player. it's a rather nice peice and i would love to know the name of it.

[Tommmiyyy]

excusia, whatta bea the name of song numbero 6?

[violadude0987]

Nice list. Good to see some stuff on the list other than the usual suspects.

[wickweak]

the mozart sonata in c major..i think i've heard it in pokemon game...

[prieto21]

@wickweak Yeah, the part that starts at 1:44 sounds like the song in pokemon red/blue version when you get on your bicycle.

[CYYZspotter]

are you sure the goldberg variations are played by Glenn Gould because it does not sound like his interpretation?

[mikeflanny22]

Man I dont really like the first one

[TheSoken123]

rach prelude op 23 no5 ? op3 no2?

[Szhenrik94]

@TheSoken123 If you want to do a real top sellers, the top 500 would be called ...

[chloecarter00]

awesome i love piano and this was posted on my birthday

[vinciano]

Chopin op. 10 n. 3 Etude is a fantastic piece of music but pale in comparison with quite masterpieces like Ballades or Polonaise op. 61

[vinciano]

Fuck, there is an ocean between Mozart k 545 and Bach's Goldberg Variations,

[musicxandxdancing]

not 2 sound rude or anything but how is beethoven 2nd!..unless its not in order, in which case i understand:P

[LinkBulletBill]

@musicxandxdancing

well it's the ear's and mind's choice to decide... I would put Chopin over Beethoven imo... but that's just my taste.. I respect it. As I respect your taste. :)

[musicxandxdancing]

@LinkBulletBill haha tushay, & thnk u lol

[sergeantbreinholt]

@Kakarot21591 It is there. In fact, it is number 2 on the list; Beethoven's 14th Sonata, which is in Opus 27 number 2, is the entire Moonlight Sonata. So it was included, just not played in this short video. Only the first movement, not the other two.

The interpretation played here of that movement, by the way, is definitely not anywhere near the top of my list for interpretations of that movement. You should listen to Artur Rubinstein's.

[TheDanoisMusica]

@sergeantbreinholt This version is played by Vladimir Horowitz and is by far the best version existing to date, the Arthur Rubienstien version is to slow almost more like a lullaby

[rkj1963]

@sergeantbreinholt

I totally disagree with this list. Where on earth are Mozarts piano concertoe, 20 and 21 often regarded as the best ever made within classical music. And whre is Brahms 1 and 2 piano concertos - also they regarded as some of the Best. And Finally where is Beethovens 3,4 ot 5 piano concerto ?

[TheDanoisMusica]

@rkj1963 Then you have no idea what "solo" means in the musical world, it means that it is played by a single instrument.. Not a orchestra and therefor there is no piano concertos on this list

[Thomas11611]

@TheDanoisMusica Thank you for making this video :) Now I know of new piano pieces I would love to challenge myself to learn

[Kakarot21591]

Why are Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Mvmt 3 or Chopin's Polonaise in A-Flat not in here?

[oyw123]

You missed

Liszt -- Liebestraum

Debussy -- Arabesque no 1
