Any piano players out there?

My friends and I are each learning a piano
solo piece and I'm having trouble finding a piece that I would enjoy playing as well as something that sounds...well cool

. I started playing Canon in D but I just bring myself to like that song

Well I'd just like to hear your favorite piano songs to play. Also if you have any song recommendations to CDs that have incredible piano in them I'd like to hear them too! Thanks!

My favorite piece of all to play is "Policinello" by Heitor Vila-Lobos, the famous Brazilian composer. If you're somewhat experienced, it's not too difficult to play with practice and very easy to memorize. Another attractive feature is that while it's four pages long in the edition I use, it takes less than a minute to play at full pace!

Wonderful! Thanks, I'll keep my eye out for that next time I go to the sheet music store. Speaking of which, anyone know of any sites that let you listen to the song for free (in mp3 or midi format) and then download the sheet music?

I'd say Keiko Matsui's songs.

Check out "The Ring" it's a good album.

Try Amazon.com... sometimes they have those free MP3 samples before you buy an album. I haven't seen it for any classical music (unless you call Phillip Glass "classical"

), but it's worth a shot. Their sheet-music selection is pitiful, though. And of course, check out your local library! It's probably easier simply to look for the two separately.
