Check out Chopin's Piano Concertos (I like No. 1 more than the second), but Liszt's Liebestraume No. 3 is an all-time favorite of mine. Currently learning to play La Campanella (the piano version), and boy it does a number on my right hand--watch Yundi Li play it and you'll see why. Are there any songs which invoke deep passionate emotion in you? 131 weeks ago

Aside from Vitali Chaconne, Canon in D my other faves are Violin Partita No. 3, Bach's Suite for Cello No. 1, and Chopin's Nocturne Opus 9 No. 2. :) Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to look into them. 130 weeks ago

Specialties
Putting the extra effort to make everything perfect and beyond.
Playing piano and sketching are my main specialties, but recent spotlight on cardistry/magic as a new hobby of mine (which started ~1 year ago).
As for Engineering related specialties: Programming experience through many languages, including Python, JAVA, C, to name a few. Very quick intuitive learner of new languages and implementation of algorithms in general.
