Very selected favorite practice piano scores... mostly in MINOR KEY.

All contents are public domain scores and midi. Write me if I violated rules and I will remove them from here.

These are so uplifting and great! The world is too noisy already. You can lessen it a bit by appreciating classical music. Let it come to you. They are relaxing. Listen to them with eyes closed!

COMPOSER	COMPOSITION	SCORE	SOUND	PERSONAL REMARKS
BACH, SEBASTIAN	Toccata & Fugue in Dm	PDF Score	MIDI	This is the Dracula Theme appropriately for organ. It's quite a long piece...
BEETHOVEN	Fur Elise (Sonata, Op.27, No.2)	PDF Score	MIDI	They say this is an easy piece... The music eloquently evokes some subtle pain soothed by the journey in each measure.
	Moonlight Sonata	Page1 Page2 Page3 Page4	MP3 MIDI (better version)	Very gloomy but beautiful. Can break you into pieces.
CHOPIN	Nocturne in C#m	PDF Score	MP3 MIDI	The intro to "The Pianist movie. Slow, expressive but erratic. The trills need a great deal of practice.
	Prelude in Em	PDF Score	MIDI	LENTO. A 1-page funeral requiem. Gloomy but great.
	Waltz in Am Opus 69 No.4	PDF Score	MP3	Exhilarating and inspiring piece--so fresh to listen to. It makes you want to be a bohemian wandering freely in the renaissance era.
	Waltz in C#m Opus 64 No.2	PDF Score	MP3 MIDI	My most favorite! The mystery is reaching through my pituitary gland! :):)
	Etude Opus 10 No. 4	PDF Score	MIDI	Eccentric...
MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY	Venetian Boats Opus 30. No.6	PDF Score	MIDI	Expressive...Continuous but rising with depth. I loved the trill parts but it was not captured by the MIDI sample here.
MOZART	Rondo Alla Turca	PDF Score	MIDI	A very very popular piece. Wonder why they said it's an easy piece. I guess the fast tempo makes it hard, especially the passage in its last quarter portion. It will intermix your brain hemisphere.
SATIE	First Gnossienne	PDF Score	MIDI	Mysterious. If you have watched "Chocolat", this was played in the lovemaking scene :)
SCHUBERT	Musical Moments in Fm No.3	PDF Score	MIDI	Creative...fast and playful. A favorite one from Schubert. The style starts with minor, then halfway it shifted to major key.
TCHAIKOVSKY	June Barcarolle	PDF Score	MP3	The thematic impact of this is like Venetian Boats. I can listen to the music 10 times in one sitting.
That's all for the moment...So many music to admire, so little time.
