Q. please don't comment if you don't know about piano chords?
A. E major: E, G-sharp, B / minor E, G, B.
B major: B, D-sharp, F-sharp / minor B, D, F-sharp
add2 has nothing to do with classical theory or parlance. Sounds like you add the second scale degree within the key (major or minor) for the E chord, an F-sharp / the B chord, C-sharp.
You should be aware you are learning a limited theoretical terminology for one instrument or genre which is not universal to all musicians.

The difference between major and minor chords on a piano?
Q. I was wondering how I could tell the difference between a major and a minor chord on a piano? Help?
Thanks! :D
A. That can't really be explained in a few words. But basicly Major chords are formed in triads of a whole step (WS) and a half step (HS) minor chords are the inverse, HS-WS for example: The 'C' chord is put together by the noes 'C-E-G' c to e is a whole step, and e to g is a half step. 'Cm' is the opposite, it's notes are 'C-Eb-G (b=flat, just go one half step down) so C to Eb is a half step, and Eb to G is a whole step. To make it a lot less confusing here is a list of all the chords major and minor triads.
MAJOR
C-E-G
C#-E#-G#
D-F#-A (#=sharp, go up one HS)
Eb-G-Bb
E-G#-B
Fb-Ab-Cb
F-A-C
F#-A#-C#
Gb-Bb-Db
G-B-D
G#-B#-D#
Ab-C-Eb
A-C#-E
Bb-D-F
B-D#-F#
MINOR
C-Eb-G
C#-E-G#
Db-Fb-Ab
D-F-A
D#-F#-A#
Eb-Gb-Bb
E-G-B
E#-G#-B#
F-Ab-C
F#-A-C#
G-Bb-D
G#-B-D#
Ab-Cb-Eb
A-C-E
A#-C#-E#
Bb-Db-F
B-D-F#
There are a few others, but i think you'll get the idea once you give these a shot.
EDIT: I just realized that you may have been asking about the sound, basicly Minor chords just have a haunting sound to them as opposed to happy. thats the best i can explain that
What is a good piano piece to play?
Q. I've got a music competition coming up soon and I don't know a good piece to play. I have just finished learning Chopins Nocturne in C sharp minor and I am taking grade 7 soon.
I would like a piece with a similar style to:
Trees - Keiko Matsui
Nocurne in C sharp Minor - Chopin
and River flows in you - Yiruma
If possible i would also like the piece to sound quite impressive.
Thanks in advance!
A. quite honestly, the nocturne in C sharp minor is perhaps the most overplayed chopin peice, so I would suggest against playing it. Chopin's own 3 nocturnes in F major are a much better arrangement, and if you're good enough play Liszt's transcendental etude or Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu
the nocturne in F major has an amazing soft/loud dynamic. It starts very reserved and plays off of a simple motif (it'll probably put the audience to sleep), then, it explodes with life and amazing chord progressions in the middle which just takes away the audience and stuns them with your talent!!!
Any impromptu or polonaise will do, as well as nearly anything by Liszt.
