This page is a list of some piano music i've listened, along with their midi files are collected here. This list is compiled in the early 1990s, and this webpage is created during 1997. I haven't updated it since. The original intention of compiling this list is for self study of classical music, and also a personal rating for each piece.
Ratings symbol:
♺ Music I dislike. (2 stars)
☕ Background music, OK. (3 stars).
☆ Highly pleasant. (4 stars)
★ Best. (5 stars)
♥ Debauching the senses. (beyond the stars)
The rating may be followed by a plus sign or minus sign. e.g. ☆+ or ☆-. If followed by a question mark, that means i'm not sure how i like it yet.
The composers are ordered by their birth year.
Bach and
Liszt
have their own page.
The midi files are either public domain, or the author has granted permission for public use. (however, later in this project of collecting midi files during 1998, i may have slacked. If a midi file is yours and you wish to be removed, please let me know.)
