Hallo~ Wondering if anyone likes playing sad pieces like I do!
I'm begging my teacher to let me play but all she ever gave are lively, upbeat pieces >_< Maybe I'm too dull thus all the "Happy" ones~ I have to go around searching for (a few) sad pieces and practice secretly to satisfy my desire, hee~
Any recommended pieces? Or any favourite pieces(don't have to be sad ones)?
Hallo all!!!~
Yes, I've heard nice comments about Chopin's Nocturne in C# minor... Haven't tried that piece yet! Chopin's one of my mum's favourite composer~ Maybe I should practice and play for her...
Zippi: Yeahhhh, thanks for Chopin's~
Afraid I won't play the last sheet? Afraid as in? If it's tough, then it'd be great! The tougher the piece, the more I LOVE it~ Hee...
Duder: Heeeyy, thanks for Rachmaninoff's!
I'd go have a look at the sheet music or search somewhere! Ooh, I've played Funeral March before. I persisted with my teacher when she was finding a new piece for me to practice! Hmmsz, it doesn't sound as sad as the title should be... or maybe it's just my heart's made of ice!
Axel: Hee, ^5 (high five) for the same interest for sad pieces!!! Happy practicing and have fun which I know you would!
Hey, are you a fan of Kingdom Hearts? I love their songs as well~ I'm into playing songs from RPGs especially from Square-Enix's~ One of my all time favourites is 'Rose of May' from Final Fantasy IX and I'm currenly trying to play 'Kiss me Goodbye' from FFXII.
To me, practically nothing beats playing sad pieces! Lol even though I've completed my grades, my teacher's still reluctant to agree to let me play sad pieces! Told me I'm better with fast and upbeat ones~
Thank you everyone for your replies (and info)! Talk to you guys again!!!
That's the beauty of sad pieces; it's far more evocotive and deep than most up-beat happy tunes. Not that there's anything wrong with being happy, but with the darker pieces there is an entirely different world of interpetation that can be done, and it's just fascinating to try and imagine what was going through the composer's mind when he/she wrote that piece.
Yup! I am a big fan of Final Fantasy and Kingdom hearts. Leave it to Square for some good music. I am trying to learn a song called "To Zanarkand" from FFX, it's a very beautiful, sad piece. Well talk to you later Wind bye!
I adore the beautiful sad pieces. I love the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy music, sad or happy, but sad is best, so much! Also, I like the song from Naruto, Sadness and Sorrow, heh fits the category, eh? The piano version is the best. I am also happy that after years of self teaching, I am going to get a piano teacher finally. ^^splee!

I really enjoy playing the piece "Cavatina" from the movie Cavatina. It is a great piece. I also enjoyed playing "Schindler's List." Another great piece, but challenging. Those are just suggestions.
I really reccomend Chopin's nocturne in Bb minor. It's not very easy, but I can play it despite I started learning piano 7 months ago You have free notes at http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Chopin.php (choose 'Nocturne No 1'), you've got also nocturne in C# minor (Nocturne No 21).
