Right now I am working on Chopin 27 2 This thread might be better over on the Pianist Corner where so many pieces are discussed. (maybe this might be a good time to try the new search feature for threads that might be similar, as well) "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything."

Beethoven: Sonata 14, Opus 27, 1st movement Chopin: Opus 28, Prelude 4 (Prelude 15 is also beautiful); Sonata 2, Opus 35, 3d movement Debussy: Clair de Lune Mussorgsky: Une Larme Rachmaninoff: Elegie; Prelude in C Sharp Minor I'm also a huge fan of Satie, who has written some beautiful and easy works (I especially love the Gymnopedies, Gnossiennes and Danses de Travers). You could look into those as well. "Practice makes perfect, but obsession makes better."

Different genre, but oh so sad: "Drown In My Own Tears" -Ray Charles "Please Send Someone To Love" -Percy Mayfield "3 O'Clock In The Morning" -BB King "The Sky Is Crying" -Elmore James "How Blue Can You Get?" -BB King Piano teacher.

Also, some pieces by Yann Tiersen... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRCFvohiwAg I love playing his work at night while everything's quiet and the only light comes from my piano lamp... Also, Clair de Lune is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard!

Check it out if you get the chance. It's hard to beat Lucinda Williams for great melancholy tunes if you are into Americana/Alt Country. If you can play by ear her songs are pretty easy and really do nicely on the piano. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXbn1-aVQw8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R_dkP2duog&feature=related
