What crowd pleasing pieces or songs do you play in public?
I like to play in public classical pieces, but is obvious that most people walking by don’t really know much about those pieces or their difficulty and for them is probably background noise sometimes depending on the piece.
I want to get ideas of what kind of rather simpler pieces or songs one can play to get the people surprised or engaged with what they listening. I think people like to hear something familiar and that’s when they click with it, or some music that suddenly feels relaxing or calming meaningfully (I feel Chopin nocturnes have this effect even if they don’t know the pieces)
So what simple songs do you have in your repertoire to play along in public and create a nice atmosphere?
