What would it be? (Sorry to be so morbid) For me? Moonlight Sonata, 1st movement. |

Beethoven Op.10#3, 2nd movement. - says it all. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Beethoven for sure, but I'm not sure which piece.....do you mean 'play' as in play ourselves, or as in play a recording of? |

It's sometimes played during United Airlines commercials: Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". |

Ok, if I was playing, Beethoven Sonata no. 17, op 31 (Tempest). The whole sonata, but most importantly the last movement. *Great avatar 89th!*

Sue, you too! I made mine, then right before I uploaded it, I saw that you used the same soccer ball. I'm a n00b and original now. ![]() Opt, it would be without the blindfold. But I would have all the lights off, and be lying on my back. Well, maybe not the last part....it gets tricky during the middle crescendos... |

Hey, if you're going to get one wish, make the genie work a little. I might pick Rhapsody in Blue just because I've hacked away at it for many years, but it's awfully tempting to go for a Tschiakowsky, Grieg, or Rachmaninoff concerto, and why not with a world-class orchestra. Big Al |

All of "Pathetique" Sonata. All three movements are good. Or, maybe Liszt's transcription of Beethoven's Ninth.... Ok, one piece...so, back to the "Pathetique". LOVE it. |

Bingo. I had a tough time deciding until I saw that and it reminded me of that goal which I shelved awhile back. Yes, the entire sonata -- including the deceptively difficult second movement -- but especially the third movement: it swings, it rocks and then it beguiles with it's sweet interlude before the climax. |

I'm so close on the rhapsody but i just can't wrap it up. But much better in my opinion is his Concerto in F. There's an excellent transcription of that for piano only (two hands). I've working on that but it's harder than the Rhapsody and that's hard enough. Also working on transcription of American in Paris. Yes I love Gershwin. |
