Piano Solo

I'm looking for some solo piano pieces to play. Could you suggest me some?
My level is intermediate and i'm so into a dark mood.

I will be thankful !

Erik Satie - Gnossienne, especially no 1, 3 and 4

Chopin - Prelude op 28 no 14
(but really anything by chopin)

Skryabin - Prelyudiya op 22 no 1

Granados - Spanish Dance no 2 oriental
(spanish dance no 5 andaluza is also fun but a bit harder and not so dark)

Debussy - girl with the flaxen hair

Liszt - the consolations are kind of dark and cool to play

Saint-saens has some cool stuff too. Les cloches de las palmas comes to mind but his waltzes are awesome.

Miriam Hyde - Woodland Sketch

This is my favorite Chopin piece and it is very much a dark and powerful piece. Actually both etudes in c minor have a dark vibe to them.

Etude no.12 in C-minor,Op.10

^^^ YEAH!!! Such beauty there.
