Im looking for a really dramatic, somewhat easy-to-play piano piece

I can think of two songs that might be really good for that

Gary Jules’ rendition of Mad World is really good and pretty simple. its probably the more sad and haunting of the two. But my friend was able to learn it with only having a few years of piano and she stopped taking lessons a while ago.

Lose You by Pete Yorn might also be a good song. its less sorrowful than Mad World but it is also about loss and it isn’t that hard for piano

I hope this helps you. And I’m sorry for your loss.

It has to be Modest Musorgsy’s opening movement “Promenade” from his incredibly dramatic Pictures At An Exhibition that he wrote as a musical obituary for his friend - the artist Victor Hartmann after his death. . Promenade is not too demanding to play on the piano and it links most of the other movements that are much more demanding to play. . All in all, the whole suite is one of the most moving pieces of music I can imagine and will always be the perfect piano tribute to a departed friend. . You can get a reasonably easy piano score for Promenade as a .pdf file from: . http://funadvice.com/r/1524dm8375h . Here is the virtuoso Evgeny Kissin performing the first 10 minutes of the whole opus opening with the aforementioned “Promenade”. .

– Best wishes - Majikthise. .

Bravo - Stunning Performance.

how about ‘A Whole New World’ from ‘The Magic Of Disney’ big note piano book

Polonaise in C minor - Op 40 No. 2 by Chopin is a good dramatic piano piece. Not sure if modern music teachers are still teaching students the classics. But you must try it, it’s really good to listen to.
