Erik Satie is another to try. Here with a Fender Rhodes electric sound:
That really works, too! So many great ideas!
]]>dazric, you are absolutely correct!
Your Bach comment made me remember Wendy Carlos's 1968 album, "Switched on Bach". It's all Bach on a synthesizer:

Wendy Carlos may already be known to some PIanoteq users because of some of her alternative temperaments. "Switched on Bach" is another reason to get to know her.
Wow, that takes me back! I remember listening to Switched on Bach in college! It will be great to listen to it again. Thanks for sharing!
]]>Just videos for ideas on interpretations. To me the electrics come alive with improvisation. Most MIDI files aren't going to give you that:

Yes, I agree, some classical pieces might sound rather odd on the electrics - but Bach sounds good on just about anything! It's great that you've found a study book to get you going.
100% agree when it comes to Bach , in many scores Bach didn’t even mention an instrument. Now pieces for fortepiano are not going to sound nice on a Rhodes or Wurlitzer because they were composed with a view to produce sound effects that took into consideration the particular resonance and decay time , including pedals . So of course you can play the notes, and even practice .

Wendy Carlos is great! Chopin on a synth can be entertaining, also. Or sacrilegious, depending on your preferences. But I enjoy a lot of this guy’s content:
]]>Hello,
The electric pianos are for the rock and roll music, is not it ? I bought it a few years ago and I still did not play it because my whole piano scores are classic music. I would be very happy if someone could send me some scores and if possible Midi files for listen the style and interpretation of rock music for these electric pianos, especially the Vintage Tines MKI and MKII. Thank you.
I love the electric pianos for funk. I really like the sound of Herbie Hancock and use the pianos to replace guitars to get a funk sound.
