Pieces composed after 1900
on: November 28, 2005, 03:31:32 PM
I'm looking for some pieces to play which were composed after 1900 because I always only played baroque, classical and romantic pieces and I want to play something 'new'.

What would be a good piece (or set of pieces) to start with?

You have to tell us what pieces did you play before (what difficulty), so we can suggested something to you...

I don't know your skill level. I'm just throwing a few things out there.

Bartok's Allegro Barbaro
Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau from Images I
Debussy's L'Isle joyeuse
Kabalevsky Preludes
Ravel's Jeux d'eau
Scriabin Preludes
