Similar music to finale?


I am in love with the piece she played in the end. i put it on repeat. can anyone suggest similar pieces or artists that play that type of music? i love that blend of rhythmic drumming and industrial sounds with the piano. i need to hear more of this!

Please. What was the finale music.

I had thought it was a piece by Schumann but I am unable to locate it.

Can you help?

What I do know is that the piece that she started playing at the end was:
Schumann's piano concerto in A minor op 54 allegro affetuso.
Hope that helped.

BTW - it would be really nice to find more music similar to the stuff she played (with all the tapping on the strings)...

Thanks in advance!

I loved and I love the music to. The name of the music is "Kae Shirati" played by Jennys Abschlusskonzert.

Little mistake... the music is Jennys... played by Kae Shirati. You can find it in Vier Minuten Soundtrack.

Music for prepared piano (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepared_piano) is something you could check out (for example John Cage's music), but I guess it may be hard to find something at the same enegy level as those four minutes are. Well, George Antheil's piano roll music has a lot of energy. You can start with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ijD4dU5_Jg. A similar example is Conlon Nancarrow's piano roll music. You can start with No 42 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To_W-_01OD0). If you just want music with heavy, strange bouncing energy and it doesn't have to be piano solo music you could listen to minimalistic music like Steve Reich's "Four Sections - Full Orchestra" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-suBCelOck). Also Ligeti should have some piano music full of energy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZTaiDHqs5s), and then finally some improvisations performed by Keith Jarrett (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9wYbVYI0-c or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq1tGoAffX0 ).

If you don't require the piano, listen to early techno from the 90s. Back in the day, I considered some of that stuff to be modern classical, since it was about sounds and movement.
