LOVE Ballade No. 4, want to learn Mephisto next year. Ravel is also one of my favorites

I started chipping away at the coda of ballade no. 4 measure by measure but probably won't have the piece done until summer of next year maybe lol. I would love to be able to play mephisto waltz at some point but i feel like it's way out of my league atm.

I like playing classical and contemporary pieces on piano. As far as classical pieces go, I recently played Rondo Alla Turca for a recital, and I am learning Prelude no. 1 by George Gershwin. The song is interesting because it’s considered classical but it sounds jazzy at the same time.
 
my favourite piece is probably fantasia impromptu (sadly still not good enough to be able to play it)
me can play The celebrated gallop from Orpheus in the Underworld if ykyk
and da first movement of moonlight sonata (very badly)
as well as some other pieces
but me mostly just compose an stuff

I think No. 4 is harder than Mephisto

Beethoven for sure. HE WAS THE FIRST TO ROCK!!!!
 
Sorry If I might be late to the conversation
I play the Violin and play the piano (But I quit Piano lessons 5 years ago and still take violin lessons)
I'm currently learning Haydn's Fourth Violin Concerto but I personally like these composers:
Bach
Tchaikovsky
Holst (An English Composer who wrote the Planets)
Mozart
However, I really like Tchaikovsky the most with his Violin Concerto In D (It sounds complex but I really like it)
The 1812 Overture and Mozart's Magic Flute Overture are also really good (I even preformed The Magic Flute Overture in Haydn Hall!)
 
To everybody who has been missing out (which is, unfortunately, almost everybody): listen to the organ symponies of Widor and Vierne. You'll probably have to get used to the style, but it's incredible music.
On the topic of symphonies, Rachmaninoff symphony no. 3 and Mahler symphony 5 are also notable. Nice choices tho, these are a couple I really like to listen to on a daily basis lol.
