Classical Music ( C Minor )?
New to classical music, been listening to Beethoven lately, one that particularly caught my fancy was Beethoven's moonlight sonata, think this is a beautiful piece, anyways, was wondering if anyone can suggest more music similar, in c minor, or anything dark. Seem to like the dark sounding ( guess its from my old goth days ) haha. Thanks/
Update:With me writing this at "daft o clock " in the morning i can get away with my wording error haha, sorry folks, bad wording by me, what i ment was... music that is similar to beethovens moonlight sonata....stuff that is in C minor. But i can see how it looks different. Thankyou for the excellent answers i wish i could give you all best answer.

Prokofiev ~ Piano Concerto No. 2 (G minor) ---here the first of its four movements.... dark, lustrous, gorgeous, and one of those infamously difficult pieces to play. Enjoy!

Later into the 20th Century, you get works which are 'minor' sounding but are an amalgam of major and minor....
