Oh, forgot one:
Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude by J.S.Bach. I love this piece, and it was a real pleasure when the choir I was in did it for a Christmas concert. We had a string quartet and everything :o) |

(I'm missing my piano more and more... had to sell it half a year ago when my mom had to move appartments...*sigh*.Now I've only got all the sheet music left...) |
