    I started to listen to piano again. I really like these pieces: Frederic Chopin - Nocturne In E Flat Major, Op.9 No.2 , Claude Debussy - Claire de lune, and Yiruma's album "First Love". Are there any other songs that are similar to this selection?

    I love Chopins Nocturnes or his raindrop prelude. It's absolutely beautiful.

    Beethoven's 31st piano sonata is a wonder. You might enjoy his fourth piano concerto too, if the orchestra doesn't bother you.
    Ravel's 'Pavane pour une Infante defunte' piano version, Debussy's first arabesque.

    If you like Claire de Lune, you should check out Debussy's Reverie. And actually, almost any other Debussy music, though I admit to being biased and a huge fan of his :slight_smile: Also Ravel's piano music is frequently somewhat similar in my mind to Debussy - especially his Miroirs.

    ---------- Post added 2nd May 2014 at 11:57 PM ----------

    Also, I have to add Rachmaninoff's Études-Tableaux, Op.33: VII. Moderato (G minor). Especially as played by Alexander Kobrin.

    I have a lot of looking up to do. Thank you for the suggestions. I'll have more to listen to during school & whatnot. It helps me study as well!

    ^ I love Gnossienne No. 4!

    @Nocturnal: if you liked Satie's Gymnopedies, you might try DeBussy's orchestral arrangements for Gymnopedie No. 1, and Gymnopedie No. 3, they are very beautiful.

    Arvo Part - Spiegel Im Spiegel. This is simple and repetitive, and sometimes depressing, but it's one of the most beautiful things I know musically.
    Ludovico Einaudi - White Night. Another beautiful piece, clearly inspired by Part's Spiegel Im Spiegel.
