"It shakes me! It quakes me! It makes me feel goose-pimply all over!

I don’t know who I am! Or where I am! Or what I’m doing!

Don’t stop! Don’t stop! Don’t ever stop!"

> Chopin: Etude in E Major, Opus 10, #3

Now there’s a piece that’s tough to play. Those fast moving 6ths have killing power. The main theme is wonderful, though.

Another vote here for the Beethoven Waldstein Sonata, and the piano version of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2.

Also, Chopin – Fantasie Impromptu
