Beautiful sound as is his La Mer.
Saint-Saens' Le Cygne (The Swan) would be my top choice.

:thumbsup:
All of his sonatas are absolutely fantastic, but this is definitely one of my favorites. His piano concertos are equally so.

although I like his music, Beethoven is really more of a symphony composer instead of a piano composer. His sonatas all sound symphonic, from moonlight to waldstein to pathetique to appassionata. I prefer Chopin and Rachmaninoff for Piano.
Polonaise, Scherzos, etudes, preludes.

Nine symphonies versus 32 piano sonatas, 5 piano concertos, 11 or so trios that include the piano, and a dozen or so bagetelles. How in the world can you say he was more of a "symphony composer?" Composers in the classical period were far less linear in their mediums than those of the romantic period (using Chopin as your example).
Beethoven was diverse, and calling him a composer of any one type of piece is meaningless.
