Dude, nemesis posted you a link to the original you're talking about a
few days ago and you even commented on it.

Wow. It was *that* memorable?

Hmm... Actually, I do remember that. I suspect YouTube doesn't really do
it justice though.

Nah, I never have liked piano music much. The piano is just such a
boring instrument. It can sound nice as part of a larger piece of music,
but on its own it's just dull. (I guess the same can be said of many
instruments...)

Is there any kind of music you don't find boring?
There are many pieces of piano music which are just exquisite. For example,
I really like this one from Bach:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KQW2YnCUrE
There's something soothing about it.
Personally I find the minuet in G minor by Bach (or at least attributed
to him) exquisite and soothing. It also brings memories because it was the
theme music of a ZX Spectrum game (didn't know back then it was a piece of
classical music):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRDP9jV9JlA
The G major counterpart is perhaps more known:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIKKDXCP2_M
Famous piano pieces by Beethoven are also excellent, such as
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck
The third movement is actually one of the most involved (and difficult)
pieces of classical piano music ever:

Well, I do have several hundred CDs in my bedroom, almost all of which I
enjoy listening to, so... ;-)

I can play the prelude - although I usually choose harpsichord or pipe
organ rather than piano. And yes, it's a rather interesting piece. (I'm
rather less keen on the fugue.)
Given that it's prelude #1 from the WTC, I guess the authorship is
relatively certain. (Although some guy told me it's not in the baroque
style - like I'd know the difference...)

Now the harpsichord is something I do like the sound of. (Although
obviously, it depends on what you play with it...)

Now, see, this doesn't do anything for me personally.

Again, not my taste.

I'm sure it's really, really hard to play. It just doesn't sound
particularly pleasing to the ear.

Not to nit-pick, but while it's certainly rather tricky there's a fair
bit of piano music out there which is significantly more
involved/difficult, so I think it's a bit much to term it "one of the
most involved and difficult pieces of piano music ever". This isn't to
detract from how great a piece of music it is though.

He did say pieces of classical piano music.
If you want difficult to play, look for "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz".
I would say listen to it but that requires that it is possible to play
it correctly, which I hear is not possible.

Actually to me the enjoyment of listening to music is not about the
technical difficulty of the music but the emotion that is put into and
comes out of the playing.
search on you tube I found this version that I like.
