No, don't name 2, or 3, or 4... even if it's tempting.  Choose *one!* Which one is the piece you'd kill to be able to play at concert level, flawlessly? For me, it would be the Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto. Just chock-full of gorgeous melodies and I never tire of listening to it.
Started playing in mid-June 2007. Self-taught... for now. :p

Rachmaninov again - the Paganini variations. Ain't going to happen outside my dreams, though.

I'll refrain from all the others.

Do you mean well? Just about everything I already play... OK. I guess Liszt's Sonetto 104 del Petrarca. I used to be able to play the first three pages and then gave up. I would also love to be able to play Msorsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. and all of Bach's Goldberg Variations. But then you said "only 1"......

Beethoven Sonata no. 8
I was going to say Mussorky's Pictures at an Exhibition or Schumann's Carnival, but I'd probably have to kill a whole village.
I'd also like to learn Ray Charles's What I Say, but I might someday be able to do that without ritual sacrifice.

Monica, I have the sheet music for Maleguena if you want to start working on it now.

I wish I could play the most beautiful melody you have ever heard. It would be composed and performed by me and be comprised of the nicest melodies I have ever heard.
I'm still searching for it, and it may be a while before I ever discover it but I know that some day I WILL find it as it is in me. It's just not ready yet!.
