I'm pretty new but I've been making good progress on fur elise in the past couple days. I can basically play both hands together on the slow parts, and single hands on the fast middle part.

Can anyone suggest a classical piece for a beginner? I tend to like dark/foreboding stuff.

Canon by pachelbel.

It's a sad piece and very very moving.

You should try the pieces by Bach such as Minuette. It's pretty suits well for beginners and the piece is good.

Here are youtube links of it.

YouTube - Minuette Bach

Comptine d'un Autre Ete L'apres Midi, by Yann Tiersen:
YouTube - The Piano [Life is a song]

And I love Victor's Piano Solo, from The Corpse Bride:
YouTube - Victor's Piano Solo (w. ending of my own work)

If you can do Fur Elise you will manage these

Enjoy!!

Thanks for the recommendations. I enjoyed the video of 'life is a song'.

But I've actually decided I want to learn Scarboro and 'People are Strange' by the Doors. Sorry everyone!
