Title: The Classical era.
Post by: fred792k on May 14, 2011, 02:30:24 PM

Hi there.

A couple of weeks ago I finished the Liszt Consolation i D-flat. Now, I'd love a suggestion for a piece of the Classical era. I'd love some Schubert (whose piano Music I'm not very familiar with), but also Haydn, Mozart Beethoven and Clementi. Though Schubert would be best.

Cheers!!

I would highly suggest taking a look at his piano Sonata in A Major, the number which I forgot, sorry.

It was on the ABRSM Grade 8 exam pieces list a few years ago though. It is a lovely piece and I recommend it.

There are MANY options among Mozart/Beethoven/Haydn, but for Schubert I would recommend the impromptu op. 142 no. 2 in A flat. Not too demanding and very beautiful :)

Sonata in A minor from Nodame Cantabile

That's a pretty tough sonata... I would stay away from it for now. If you want a sonata, try D. 537 or D. 664 (the latter is harder, but more beautiful/better constructed in my opinion).
