reasonably easy stuff
on: October 10, 2004, 10:54:05 PM
Can anybody here think of any collections of music, or any particular pieces, that contain fairly easy repertorie?  I don't mean really simple stuff, but things that a reasonably advanced pianist could sight read or learn with a day or two's work.  It occurred to me that everything I'm working on is all difficult, and I felt a desire for a return to simplicity.  Has anybody else ever had this feeling?

I would say Debussy's Children's Corner or Lecuona's Andalucia suite.  Also have a look at Liszt's consolations and a number of Chopin's waltzes.
