I have this song built in to my digital keyboard, and I'm going crazy trying to find out what it is. It goes "ba ba, ba ba---- ba ba, ba ba ba ba baaaaa ba baaaa baaa, ba ba ba ba baaa, ba ba ba ba baaaaa" like that. Anyone have any idea? I'd give a higher bitrate recording, but I don't know where to host it.

I think the emo kids that you apparently dislike would have a better chance at this one.

Hmm I am kicking myself for not knowing this but it does not seem too familiar. I would have to guess something from Mozart because of the style?

No, it's a romantic period piece. I know that because the songs on the keyboard are ordered by date. It's right in between Schumann and Dvorak.

Wow, thanks guys. I would have never guessed in... two years that piece was composed by Liszt. I've been completely underwhelmed by everything else I've heard of his.

I've never have been a big fan of his music either (I like Chopin much better) but he was one of the most influential musicians of the XIX century. Professional musicianship and the quality of interpretation we expect from a musician nowadays would be unthinkable without him. He really raised the bar in that respect.

And the piece is really nice; it has a dreamy, chopinesque quality about it, unlike his symphonic poems which I find bloated and pretentious.

It reminds me of a cross between Chopin and Debussy.

I suppose (I've read about him, and like you're saying) he was most important as piano virtuoso. His transcriptions are really great.

Yeah. He and Chopin were good friends (for a while) and there's an interesting anecdote about how they envied each other. Chopin was weak and fragile, ill with tuberculosis, and, while a great player on his own, nowhere near Liszt's sheer technique. He was however a far superior composer and musician.

Liszt on the other hand was the best living pianist of his time, and on top of that he was tall and strong, with long, red flowing hair. He was quite the ladies man too. But he was also well aware that he was not as gifted as a composer as Chopin.

So once, at Chopin's house, Liszt started playing a score lying on the piano, which had just been written by Chopin...and they were both filled with utter envy for each other...Chopin at Liszt uncanny ability to play Chopin's music better than he himself ever could; Liszt at Chopin's mind boggling compositional skills.

Piano music just kicks butt. I just wish I could skip all those years and years of practicing and become a virtuoso overnight :p

One of my favorite piano music pieces are Rachmaninoff's two piano stuff. His one piano concertos are marvelous, but I just love his two piano pieces. There are just great chords and rhythms that you can do with 20 fingers :).
