Long but easy pieces

[BoliverAllmon]

all this talk of hard pieces got me wondering. what are some real easy pieces that are over 15 min. I am talking grade 6 and lower.

hahaha, the arch-nemesis of my short but hard thread 

this is actually really difficult, because there are certain sonatas, like beethoven moonlihgt, which are easy for the majority, but the last movement is difficult.

very interesting thread because i cant think of any at all!

neither can I. Maybe some Haydn sonatas, but I don't think they become long enough. What about Bach suites? I don't know the grade level on those. In fact, I haven't listened to them all yet. Maybe Mozart sonatas also. Don't know really. What about Scenes from Childhood? I think that qualifies. If you were to play them as a set that is.

"La Vega" by Albeniz, runs about 14 minutes; not particularly difficult technicaly IMO. de Larrocha recorded it on EMI, it's beautiful.

Don't under estimate the Bach suites some of movements (or dances) are around grade 8

Long but easy...

that's hard to say...

[stevie]

the mozart sonata facile in c major, it really is a beautiful piece.
theres no reason it shoudlnt be played as much as the others just because its a bit easier.

What about Mozart's piano concertos?

[hazypurple21]

Compared to other concerti, some of Mozart's are easy. But that's just compared to other concerti. Overall, I wouldn't call them easy.

[Etude]

Satie's Vexations?

Not sure if this would count, repeating it hundreds of times could be very difficult.

[rafant]

The closest ones I can quote are two Scarlatti's sonatas, K296 and K478, both beautiful, of lyrical style, and their duration is over 12 minutes.

Funeralis by Liszt....but it does have a section in the middle with left hand octaves thats slightly harder than the Chopin Heroic Polonaise middle section.
