Whats your favorite Piano pieces

[CardonaLJ**]

So I'm taking a survey of american music class this winter semester and have been listening to all kinds of music so far (only up to the early 50s so far). Yesterday as I was watching the latest American Horror Story episode, I heard a piano piece that was familiar but drove me crazy to find out who actually wrote it. I was suprised to find out it was from Candyman and Philip Glass wrote it since I loved it but never really gave much thought into it. What about you guys? Whats your favorite piano pieces? Below are a few of mine.

Phillip Glass is great, not sure why you were surprised to like him. I really like Yann Tiersen.

I've often wondered what it was like growing up in that family. So many creative geniuses, either be the greatest experience or go batshit crazy. I can honestly see it going either way.

I like how you put that.
They were a very talented bunch.
I started watching their films as a kid, loved them. Even did a little research paper on them back in the days of school.
