music

These follow the format COMPOSER'S SURNAME – PIECE TITLE – SUBSECTION (if applicable) for ease of Internet searching. Basically I'm hoping plugging in each line with “easy piano” will get you a video and sheet music.

This list is arranged in roughly time order of when they were composed.

  • JS Bach – Well Tempered Clavier Book 1 – Prelude 1
  • JS Bach – Minuet in G major (BWV Anh.114) (super short, you might have heard this one before)
  • Mozart – Piano Sonata No.16 in C major, K.545
  • Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata (the 1st movement is the most well known but 3rd, while more difficult, is a banger imo)
  • Beethoven – Sonata Op 49 no. 1
  • Mussorgsky – Pictures at an Exhibition (it's a series of short pieces; Promenade would be a good one to start)
  • Grieg – Peer Gynt Suite – Morning Mood (again all the pieces are v tuneful)
  • Schumann – The Wild Horseman
  • Dvorak – Slavonic Dances Op. 46
