piano piece

[bethany0016]

can anyone recommend a piece that is cute and lovely,with passion but not too long ?
any level is OK.
please tell me the piece's level and  the composer.

[quasimodo]

Does it have to be easy or any level?

well you didn't give much to go on...but to be semi-non-traditional, I vote "Audrey" by Dave Brubeck.  It's the opening track on "Brubeck Time," and was composed to sound like "Audrey Hepburn walking through the woods."
technically not very challenging at all, maybe grade 4 or so.  much more difficult would be "Strange Meadow Lark," the 2nd track on "Time Out."  probably grade 7.

try some beatles transcriptions if you want--everyone loves "yesterday," and it's not that hard or long.  (grade 5?)

more traditional choices: beethoven pathetique mvt 2 (grade 6-ish), debussy clair de lune (grade 7) or girl with flaxen hair (6), or macdowell to a wild rose (4-5).

people will probably argue about my grading--I made them up based on how hard they are for me.

Beethoven's Sonata # 8 Op 13 "Pathetique" - Adagio Cantabile

That's a really sweet piece =)

Or you could try with Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 # 2 (#1 too, but it's a bit harder than #2)
Romance by Tchaikovsky too...

Anyways, what grade are you? (more or less) 
That's really important, because those pieces aren't that easy to learn eh!

Well, I think that Waltz in C# Minor isn't that sweet... it's more a sad and melancholic piece :p
But hey, it's like my fave chopin's waltz ever

There is no such thing as a Mozart Sonatina op 36. In fact, opus numbers are not even used when referring to Mozart's works, so I can only conclude that you are referring to Clementi's C Major Sonatina, which is extremely easy.

Now, on the OP, I would suggest some of Chopin's Preludes. Most of them do not last more than 2-3 minutes so they probably fit the bill. Take a look at Op 28 no 16 and no 24 if you feel you're up to it. They are passionate, but certainly not lovely or sweet.

Look at some Grieg lyrical pieces and the two elegiac melodies (not so sweet but beautiful). Rachmaninoff piece 1917 "Fragments" or the moment musical in B Minor. Maybe some Alkan preludes. some Scarlatti sonatas would also be good.

Quite a lot of the pieces in Burgmullers 25 studies Op 100 are cute or sweet. Harmony of the Angles, innocence, tender flower, the limpid stream, elegance, spring to mind from these studies...and they are not too difficult.

I agree with Communist, some of Grieg’s lyric pieces are very beautiful Arietta and
Melodie No 3 ( i can't rember the Op numbers and stuff ) may fit into what you are looking for.

[chloebeethoven]

I would say Debussy's arabesques and Claire de lune. They are sooooooo pretty.
You might want some jazz music. I recommend Oscar Peterson's Hymn To Freedom.
Etincelles is cute too.
Bach's sheep may safely graze is so so so fantastic!

best wishes,
