What are my favorite Chopin pieces? Link to heading

If I could listen to only three classical pieces for the rest of my life, what would they be? Link to heading

  1. Beethoven, Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor”

This is my absolute favorite music piece ever.

  1. Chopin, Andante spianato et grande polonaise brillante in E-flat major, Op. 22

One of my favorite Chopin pieces.

  1. Chen Gang and He Zhanhao, Violin Concerto “The Butterfly Lovers”

This choice is particularly personal. “The Butterfly Lovers” is a Chinese theme written in the format of western orchestra music. The whole concerto is telling a tragic and moving story of two lovers in ancient China. This piece can always bring me peace of mind at any time.
