If you're looking for classical, I suggest you take a look at Mozart's 12 variations on "Ah! Vous dirai-je, maman?", K265. The melody is simple, yet some of the variations are beautiful (to me anyway). Especially variations 10, 11 and the 8th in minor has very interesting harmonies.

What's fascinating is that all of this is derived from a very simple tune...

John Adams' Harmonium

Eric Whitacre's A Boy and a Girl.

Yeah, it's choral, and contemporary, but the harmonies are definitely interesting.

It depends on exactly what you mean by 'interesting'. If you want simple and easy to understand (and analyse) harmony, then try Mozart of Vivaldi, then you could move onto Bach, whose harmony is slightly more sophisticated, and will take more thought to follow, but is still all analysable. The book of 371 Chorale Harmonisations by Bach is a great investment for any student of Harmony, I learnt a hell of a lot from analysing some of them.

Good luck :)

Thank you!

I found a band too The Shadows, they have a simple orchestration chords,lead,bass,percussion but all of their melodies are unique and pretty nice.

I'll start whit Mozart and Vivaldi too and John Adams' Harmonium. And see what else I can get my paws on. :)

Do you know where can I find traditional(world wide) sheet music or midi files?

Ist Ein Traum from Strauss's Rosenkavalier.

Also try www.pianosociety.com They have a lot of free recordings of piano music, and free scores of a good deal of it too. Mozart and Cleminti sonatas/sonatinas might be good to study for a start, especially as if you're a pianist they're generally not too difficult to learn.

You know, if you want REALLY interesting chord progressions look up some Steely Dan tunes like "Peg," "Hey 19," "Hatian Divorce," "Green Earings," and "Glamour Profession" just to name a few.
