Slow Movement or Lyric Recommendations
on: March 17, 2008, 01:01:24 PM
I am looking for a slow piece or a lyrical piece, most likely from the romantic era, to function as a contrast between Scriabin's Op. 28 Fantasy and a Liszt Etude. 

Does anyone have any recommendations?  Tonally, I would really like it if it could be in F# major, but any key will do.

Thank you very much,

Daniel

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

But it's not exactly the proportion for which I'm looking.  I have decided that I will play a piece from late Brahms.

I'm thinking of 116 #6, but I really like Brahms 119 #s 1& 3, and I am wondering Brahms 116 #3 would work as a contrasting piece.  It is technically a capriccio, but it has a wonderful lyrical section.

What do you think?
