Etudes/short pieces in 24 keys?

[oscarr111111]

Hey, I've been working on my piano playing as a secondary instrument on and off for a while now, I've mainly been concentrating on chords, practicing them in all inversions, circle of fifth progressions, 2-5-1s etc., I'm getting pretty good at that stuff and can read simple music pretty easily or pick through harder things.  I want to learn some pieces just to work on my music reading in different keys, get a feel for playing in the different keys and to expand my musical vocabulary on the piano.

I'm looking for 24 short pieces (30 secs-2 mins) which can be any style, a standalone piece, a section of a larger piece etc.  basically anything at all.  Not looking for anything too virtuosic but I can play intermediate type stuff.  As an example the things I've learned in the last few months are all the harpsichord parts to The Stranglers 'Golden Brown', the first minute or so of 'Ancora' by Ludovico Einaudi and the first minute and a bit of 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor'.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks .

I was thinking if you had something in Finale or Sibelius you could just transpose it to.... 30 keys.  Major, plain, up to 7 sharps, down to 7 flats = 15.  Ditto for minor.. 30 keys.  But that gets a little nuts at the extremes anyway.

I'm interested too.

Oh yea I do have access to Sibelius but I was really looking to play pieces in the original keys, I guess just because its less hassle/if I specifically like something I can continue and learn the whole piece/compulsiveness.

I had a look at the sheet music archives on this site and picked out a few pretty easy songs that shouldn't take too long to get through, the most important thing really is that the music is somewhat remotely interesting so I don't get bored too easily heh.  Got a few different classical pieces here so going to look for some pop/rock/jazz stuff next I think.  Anything other than the 24 'regular' keys are a bit pointless to practice for me as I only really play keyboards to jam and write music with friends, we usually end up just playing in guitar keys anyway but I want to practice em all 'just in case .

When in uni harmony class we had to do a transcription at the piano on a selected short piece.  I chose the Minuet in G. 

How it works is you can have the original score on the piano, but no written out transpositions.  We were supposed to go at least 3 flats / 3 sharps.  I found this exercise intriguing and did all 12 major keys.
