I have been eyeing the following pieces for a while:
Sibelius - Romance op 24 no 9
Schumann - Kreisleriana no 8
Rachmaninoff - Polichinelle
It would be rather pointless to tackle them straight away, as I am not technically advanced enough for it to be worth it. Which pieces would be good preparation for them? Something around level 5 until the actual level of the piece.
Something with extensive octave and scales HT in Dm would likely be useful for the romance, but I do not know of any easy pieces which cover these extensively.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
