Greetings.

Tell us about yourself. What level of technique you possess, what kind of pieces do you want to play. Are you looking to impove your technique or just have easy classical repertoire. For technique I reccomend Czerny, which introduces you to classical forms. As for easy pieces, I believe there is a thread listing the easiest "real" pieces that are very easy, albeit impressive. I believe the thread is here:https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php/topic,2147.0.html. Provide more information about what you want to play. Hope this helps.

Best Wishes.

I would like to appologize for my sloppy writing.

Haha! And for the double post Albeit, on the odd forum the Edit function doesn't even work, and in even rarer cases... there isn't one to be found! So all is forgiven

What kinda jazz can you play.  IMO, some jazz is much more complicated than alot of classical music.  The rhythms and techniques involved are a whole new thing.  If you are an accomplished jazz pianist, then I'm sure you could tackle some of the most difficult classical music.  If you're playing beginner-level jazz then try  some Easier Chopin preludes. There's alot more easy classical music, but some of the preludes are very simplistic, and are well known.

Bernard, if you had spent all the time you spend on forums you'd be the next horowitz 

Though i wish to thank you for all your excellent replies, maybe you helped loads of people becoming new horowitzies

Actually, if you look at my profile and at the forum statistics, you will see that I have spent a bit more than 13 days at the forum since November 2003 (when I first registered). I did not even make the top ten forum members as far as time spent in the forum is concerned

It is just that I use efficient posting methods.

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
