Off the top of my head, Invention no. 13 in a minor by J.S. Bach (hence the "respect for JSB"). I'm pretty sure that's it.

| Correct. JSB is Johann Sebastian Bach, who, of course, did the original. |

If you're looking for a good Bach song look at Prelude and Fugue.

 If you're talking about a certain Prelude and Fugue, you'll have to be more specific than that. The entire Well Tempered Clavier is made of Preludes and Fugues.

Good song. I wish I could find the sheet music for it for piano.

Sheet Music
Bam. All 15 two-part inventions for piano, which all classical pianists should learn and play at least once. Numbers 1 and 13 were my favorites, which is standard, haha.

^ Except that it's published by Schirmer, a company known for its poor quality sheet music.
But yeah, finding the sheet music to that Invention is actually pretty easy because Bach's Inventions are popular. I'm actually pretty sure I have the song in two separate books. If you're going to buy the sheet music, I'd recommend an Alfred edition of the Inventions. Or if you don't feel like spending any money... http://pianosociety.com/cms/index.php?section=81

Huh, to be honest I wasn't aware Schirmer had a poor reputation. I own four or five (?) books by them and haven't had any problems.
However, I've also got a few books by Alfred, and they are quite good.
But free wins.

Thanks. I'll try to play it! Looks easier that Chopin's Revolutionary Etude(Kakumei), which is REALLY HARD, btw (I can play it slowly)

It's much, MUCH easier. 
Edit: Maybe you're just lucky and got good Schirmer books, Apoc. Most of the ones I've had have been awful, and I've heard others say the same. Take the Rachmaninoff Etude book I got a couple of months ago: some of the pages are already starting to fall out, and on one of the pieces, the time signature changes aren't even marked.
Edit 2: Not to mention that Alfred editions often give stylistic advice (for example, how to correctly play trills in Baroque music).

First off, by and large you ought to stay away from Chopin unless you're very accomplished on the piano, especially with stuff like Revolutionary (although it is one of the best piano pieces ever). Chopin wrote some of the most stunningly beautiful works for piano ever written, but most of it is also exceptionally difficult. (and for super exceptional difficulty, look up Liszt  now THAT guy was a jerk)
Secondly, I guess I'm lucky, haha.
Third, I agree about Alfred. I have Children's Corner by Debussy, published by Alfred, and it's wonderful in terms of describing Debussy's mindset when he wrote the pieces, advice he (not some editor somewhere) gave on how the pieces should be played, and generally good advice on style.
