Question
Hello!I'm studying piano in Thailand
I'm looking for a song with the specific meaning on it

I've never had any piano grade level tests before but I can play the songs on level 6-7 Trinity

I'm looking for a piano song about the lost love or missing loved one or something similar to that]

Can you please suggest me 2-3songs those match my require meaning?

Thank you very much

Answer
Schumann
Liederkreis, Op. 24 (Circle Song)
Morgens steh’ ich auf und frage (I wait here and question)
Dichterliebe (Poet Songs), Op. 48

Beethoven
Ich liebe dich (I Love Thee)

Tchaiv
Romeo and Juliet

Brahms
Liebeslieder Waltzer (Love Song Waltzes) Opus 52

Chopin
Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21

Bizet
Adieux de l'hotesse arabe (Goodbye to the Arab Hostess)

Duparc
Soupir (Sigh)

Grieg
Song of the odalisque  (Song of the Harem Slave Woman)

You will have to use these in piano reduction form (except for the Chopin, of course).  The bulk of this material is for voice.

If you can broaden your search just to "love songs," you will be able to find many more that are written for the piano.  Just Google.  Choose the ones that seem sad.

I have a PhD in musicology, with expertise in medieval - Renaissance - Baroque - Classical periods, but I'll try to help you with any period.

>>*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****<<: I do not answer questions marked "private." I don't want to type the same thing to someone else later if I typed it to you already! If you mark your request "private," I will send it back to you requesting you to remove the "private" flag. Thanks for your understanding. Remember, I'm a volunteer.

My answers are not toss-offs. If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find it.

I have many requests to identify a piece of music. If I can't identify it, I will tell you (1) what composer I think it is; (2) what composer or composers I think it is not; (3) what style period, genre, etc. I think it is or is not. And give you any other help I can to help you find the answer.

Please find a clear clip. In the interest of good computer hygiene, I will not download a clip. Nor will I go to a site where I must "register" in order to hear the clip. Please mount the clip on a public site for which you can give me a direct URL. Thanks for your understanding in this. Remember, I'm a volunteer!

Students, I do NOT do homework questions. The purpose of answering questions on assignments is not only to learn the information, but to LEARN HOW TO FIND IT. Re-read chapter. Look in the index. Look in the references given at the end of the chapter or elsewhere in the book. You also probably can find the answer using Google. Don't be lazy. I wouldn't be doing you any favors by doing your homework for you! I already know the answer. You don't. You need to find it. MORE IMPORTANTLY, you need to learn HOW to find it. That's the whole purpose of education, after all!
