Piano Sonata
Piano Sonata
What solo piano pieces are there that sound like the moonlight sonata and clair de lune?
I have been playing piano for about 4 years and have managed to learn fur elise, the moonlight sonata and clair de lune and now want to learn another piece that sounds like them. A moving, mysterious, emotional piece that doesn't sound like classical music (turkish march for example).
Oh am I ready to answer this! I'm alot like you, first ever classical piece I learnt on the piano was the Moonlight Sonata and then you guessed it! Clair de lune! By then I knew alot of composers and what I wanted to learn next right here are some options i'll run through:
Chopin (this guy was an absolute genius especially on the piano, and I don't use the word genius lightly):
Check out his:
"Raindrop Prelude in Db Major": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=825Ekk1u3mQ ( Listen to all of it if you can, the middle section is my favourite!) He wrote the piece while he was ill and it was raining outside ofcourse! 
You will love this is you want something unique!
"Nocturne Op. 9 No.2": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvxS_bJ0yOU (Yundi Li plays it very well!)
"Nocturne No. 20 in C sharp minor": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqdcDGmtJqI (It's really mysterious and beautiful)
Those are some of his famous works, I could mention all but i'm limited to ten links!
Check out Beethoven's "Pathetique 2nd mvt.": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2nG1bt7IBM (Beethoven really is my idol, such a master)
Now I will mention Rachmaninoff, bear in mind his pieces are quite hard but if you're up for it do it! Did you know he could reach a thirteenth on the piano! Man was a beast!
Check out Rachmaninoff's famous "Prelude in c sharp minor": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og0r88sJm2I (This guy has the best interpretation ever! The middle section is best) The piece is very darkening and is often described as the bells of russia, it's also very beautiful. Unfortunately a little TOO great, the public loved it! Rachmaninoff began to hate it! Eventually it haunted him till his death!
Also his "Prelude in G minor Op. 23 No. 5": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Qb7AS1yxg (Very hard but I love it!)
That's it for me, they're the famous ones! They were all great pianists as well as composers!
