I can currently play a handful of the easier preludes, along with a nocturne (9/2), and a waltz (Am Phms). What do you think I should attempt next? Some suggestions of specific pieces would be good. Thanks

I think a couple of Mazurkas might be a good idea.

Perhaps the Op7 No1 and Op33 No4.

A step up in difficulty, but not too much.

Mind you, years since i played them.

The Waltz in C# minor, Op. 64, No. 2 is very beautiful and a nice piece to add to your repertoire.

Waltz in A minor, Op.34 No.2

Mazurkas Op.68 Nos. 2, 3, 4

Prelude No.13 in F# major

Nocturne in G minor Op.37 No.1

Nocturne in C minor Op.posth.

These are all very good, and not too difficult at all.

Time perhaps to add a new category, for example an Etude. I suggest the lovely Op 25, No. 7. You could continue training your left hand to project a sad melody (if you already play the Prelude No. 6). Main difficulty is a couple of fierce scales.
