iCosmo29 Aureleid I personally think that Chopin was one of the greatest composers ever. His nocturnes are amazing. I actually have the Nocturne in B flat minor tattooed onto my leg. His nocturnes are out of this world, Nocturne in E-flat is simply astounding
Which one? The Op. 9 no. 2 is the famous E flat Nocturne, but the Op. 55 no. 2 is one of my favourites. Both are stunning, but unfortunately one is overplayed.
Septomor Lol you called it a song XD I know people who would hang you for that. Anyways, I think he's the best Nocturne composer, but I think Rachmaninoff is the best prelude composer.
Ah, that would be me...
Ah, Chopin Nocturnes are sublime, but I do think that Faure deserves some recognition in the genre.
So, how about some discussion on the larger works? Ballades, Scherzi, Barcarolle? Or how about the incredible Polonaise-Fantasie?

Septomor I love the ballades, all of them. My personal favorites are the 2nd and 4th. Also his sonatas. I think the first is overlooked and the 3rd is underheard. I also think the better movements of the 2nd is underplayed. I don't care too much for the Scherzi >< The Barcarolle is alright...but really I lvoe his impromptus more. I'm not much into the Polonaises, but I do love his Fantasy in F minor. Quite amazing work.
Ah, yes, the ballades are incredible works. I don't think I can pick favourites though...maybe the first.
Yes, the third sonata is very under-appreciated. What, in your opinion, are the better movements of the B-flat minor?
You don't care for the Scherzi? I'm shocked.
I've never been a huge fan of the impromptus. I don't know why, but they don't grip me...
Um, the Fantasy is lovely, I agree.
