Favourite Piece In Your Repertoire

Just as the title says: your favourite piece that you have in your repertoire of whatever you play. Note that 'favourite' isn't equivalent to 'most difficult', as I'm sure some show-offs will interpret.

Mine is a close call between two slowies: Drunken John's No. 13 and Chopin's 4th prelude which, apparently, doesn't have a single performance which I like on YouTube.

I will pick one for both of my instruments:

Cello is probably the Dvorak concerto, with the Martinu Second Sonata close behind. It is far from the most difficult piece I know (a toss-up between the Finzi concerto and the Britten suites).

Piano would currently be Rachmaninov Op.32 no.10 Prelude, a deeply felt piece and highly engaging to play the page consisting entirely of ff triplet chords.

Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2

Dvorak Cello Concerto

R-K Trombone Concerto

and Carter Concerto for Orchestra (yes: all instruments are played simultaneously by me)

top that Clark

Nah, I forgot about Rach 2 (I know, so sad :( ).

And by repertoire, I am assuming you mean the entire repertoire of the instrument you can play, whether or not I can currently play it is irrelevant :v

Roslavets: Prelude (Largo)

It's definitely not the most difficult piece for piano, but keeping a steady rhythm at a slow tempo with an odd rhythmic melody can prove challenging. When I played this for my piano jury I got to play it on the large concert grand piano in the recital hall and it felt amazing when I hit the climax to hear all the pitches so lushly.

Probably Rachmaninoff's prelude in c-sharp minor. If there's anything I could say I've "mastered," it would be that (or Mozart's fantasia in d minor), though I still have sometimes difficulty with one section of triplets.
