I love piano music but I don't know my way round it at all. I just know what I love when I hear it and what I don't like. <br> <br> -I love major key, pretty, constant, fluttering, lively piano. By constant I mean it doesn't switch between loud and soft, fast and slow, etc. Know what I mean? Constant in mood, volume, speed etc. <br> <br> -I don't like it when it's dark, dramatic, changeable. I don't like it when it sounds like a chaotic rainstorm or lovers screaming at each other. Like you could start falling asleep to it and then be abruptly woken up a few bars later. <br> <br> I would be ever so grateful if you could point me to particular pieces, because I know that within any composer's ouvre there is a huge variety.<br> <br> Many thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.134570 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:25:07 -0800 pianomusic beccyjoe http://ask.metafilter.com/6560/Piano%2DRock I'm making a "Piano Rock" mix. What songs should I include? [current list inside] This mix was inspired by The Bad Plus, and I have four of their songs in the lineup. I also have "Inbetween Days" by Ben Folds, the acoustic version of "Anyway" by Dynamite Hack (awesome song!), "Mad World" by Gary Jules, "Halleluhah" by Rufus Wainwright, and various Fiona Apple and Tori Amos.<br> <br> I'm at a loss for what else to include, though. I love the upbeat tempo of the songs from The Bad Plus and Ben Folds' version of "Inbetween Days". I'd love to learn of other, similar songs.<br> <br> No Elton John or Billy Joel, please. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.6560 Thu, 15 Apr 2004 18:35:45 -0800 music pianomusic rock rockmusic songs jdroth
