Help to choose a piece!
on: August 27, 2008, 01:16:29 PM
Hello!

It's my first posting.

I'm playing prelude and fugue in f# minor from Bach WTC 2, Chopin's Nocturne postume in C# Minor, Debussy's Clair de Lune, some Clementi and Moszkowski etudes, and Beethoven's Sonata 7 in D.

Can you recommend me some pieces to play? I don't mind what epoque is it.

Thank you.
