Best Pieces In The Grade 4/5 Repertoire?

[fuel925]

What would consider to be some of the best pieces at approximately the leve of grades 4 and 5?

[freakofnature]

I'm currently learning the Nocturne No 5 by John Field - it is grade 5. Not hard to learn and very beautiful!

Maybe some pieces from Schumann's 'Kinderszenen' - I've learned the first one and the well known 'Träumerei'.

Some pieces out of Grieg's Lyric Pieces are around grade 5, too - the Arietta is beautiful, and so are a lot of others!

There's quite a lot of great music that is not that hard...

Ohh, I almost forgot - there are the etudes by Stephen Heller (I've found them thanks this forum). I'm learning some pieces out of op. 45 (1,2,15,18) - some of them might be around grade 5, too. Opus 46 has some easier ones...

Nice suggestions, thanks!

I already play Arietta, and also Traumerei (although this one needs brushing up). I am also learning Ballade from Griegs Lyric pieces. I've listened to the Field Nocturne after reading your post, and I really like it. I've printed off the sheet music and I am going to start learning it today, so thanks for that
I have the sheet music for the Op.46 and Op.47 Heller studies, so i'll have a flick through there at some point and see if I can find something I like.

Any more suggestions from anyone are very welcome!

Lyrical Waltz by Shostakovich
Mendelssohn andante sostenuto
Griffinisque (forgotten the composer, sorry)
these were in the grade 5 trinity a couple of years ago and were fun to play

Thanks, do you have any ideas where I could find the midi files for those pieces?

Griffinesque is by Edward Elgar.

Do you know which opus number the Mendelssohn 'Andante sostenuto' is? I could only find one from Kinderstücke (Children's Pieces) op 72.

@fuel95: If you need the sheet music, I have it for Griffinesque (only one page long and looks quite easy, never played it though).

I'd really appreciate the sheet music for Griffinesque Is it a link or do you need to send me the file?

Beethoven op. 49, if you like Beethoven piano sonatas. No. 2 is really good.

Tchaikovsky's Seasons Album. Some of the pieces are quite accessable for grades 4/5, especially March, May, April. Lovely piano works. Kids get very inspired.
