^I love that song.
It's one of my favorites by him along with Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, Rocket Man, I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, and his stuff from The Lion King (feeds my nostalgic Disney side).
Lithium by Nirvana off the 1991 album 'Nevermind', which features a naked baby in clear water happily swimming after a dollar on a hook and which also features the famous song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', which brought 'Alternative Rock' and 'Grunge' to the masses, which then led to the ill-kept belief that Nirvana, and more specifically Kurt Cobain created or started 'Grunge', when one of the first pure 'Grunge' bands was Soundgarden, who originally featured future singer of them, Temple Of The Dog (a 'Grunge' supergroup created after the death of Mother Love Bone and Malfunkshun lead singer Andrew Wood) and Audioslave on drums. Kurt Cobain was an admirer of earlier Soundgarden and many of the original 'Grunge' bands.
sooooo.....yeah....Nirvana's song Lithium, in conclusion.

Shostakovich's Preludes & Fugues for piano, Op. 87, on YouTube (see the link). There seem to be only a few complete recordings on YouTube. I listened to one of the others and I thought the pianist played some of them too fast.
I also have Keith Jarrett's recording, and I like that too.
The sheet music can be found on the Web, and I've played some of the less difficult parts.
