Short intermediate modern piece

[pies]

I need a short modern and preferably atonal piece that is of the intermediate level.  I need to learn this in under two months so it has to be short.
Any suggestions?

[mephisto]

Schoenberg opus 11.1

I think the piece is atonal, but I am not sure, and I am not sure if you would call this piece modern.

vine 5 bagatelles or anna landa preludes

If you're talking 20th & 21st century some of the Shostakovich Preludes or Tcherepnin Bagatelles would fit the bill.

I said preferably atonal.  Doesn't have to be atonal as long as it's modern sounding.

Actually, forget about this thread.  Screw atonality; I am going to learn Rzewski's Down by the Riverside.

I will be playing it at the same tempo as Rzewski's recording, not like Hamelin and all the other speed retards.

[invictious]

Just try any schoenberg.

There.

or bash out random notes and call it music, works fine too.

Boulez Incises.

I chose Down by the Riverside but I'm having second thoughts.
Should I do variations 27 (starting at cadenza) + 28 (and possibly 29 + 30 if I have the time) from El Pueblo Unido?
It's a bit longer than Riverside, but seems simpler to learn.  I will be performing one of the two for my English class. Which is more fitting?

[soliloquy]

For English class?


They'd probably get a bigger kick out of the VOTPUWNBD

Webern Op. 27 Variations, II is about 40 seconds.  The entire thing is less than 10 minutes and it not technically difficult.
