A thread dedicated to me.

Hi, these are the pieces I am currently learning. They may look like they are all over the place, and they are!

Beethoven - Piano Sonata Op.27 No.2 (Mvt. III) {Bar 9 - 13 $&!#%!%}

Debussy - Arabesque No.1 (and again and again..I think this is the fourth time I have been learning this piece)

Scriabin - Preludes Op.11 No.6, 9 and 14
Scriabin - Etude Op.2 No.1

After these I am thinking of learning the following pieces:

Beethoven - Piano Sonata Op.8 No.13 (and again..)

Chopin - Chopin Etude Op.x No.Y (10/9..? Anything really..)
Chopin - One LARGE scale work, i.e. something along the lines of a Ballade/Scherzo etc.

Liszt - Liebestraum No.3 (better learn this soon before I start vomiting whenever I hear this piece)

Rachmaninov - Prelude Op.32 No.12
Rachmaninov - Prelude Op.23 No.5? If this is not too difficult at my current lowly level..

Scriabin - Impromptu Op.12 No.2
Scriabin - Poemes Op.32 No.1 and 2

Prokofiev - Suggestion Diabolique

Advice on the order in which they should be learned would be greatly appreciated. Same goes for advice in learning those pieces.

Of course, this one too:
Scriabin - Piano Sonata No.5

No...only in my dreams.

Thanks!

I think you should do your ABRSM Theory exam.

no Baroque stuff?

I'll be Bach...

I am currently on the last movement of Bach's Toccata in E minor BWV914..

Adding to my repertoire, I have learned:

Schumann - 'Aufschwung' from Fantasierstucke
Scriabin - Poemes Op.32 No.1 and 2
Beethoven - Piano Sonata Op.8 No.13
Chopin -  Etude Op.10 No.5  and Op.10 No.12 (both pieces still need some polishing)

I am currently learning:
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Here are some of the pieces I would love to learn within the coming months:

Scriabin - Piano Sonata No.5
Debussy - L'Isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Another etude or two (or maybe HR #2  )
Liszt - Mephisto Waltz No.1
Chopin - Another etude or two
Prokofiev - Any Piano sonata? Or maybe even Romeo and Juliet!

Again, advice would be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks.

Un Sospiro is a great piece.  I had tons of fun learning it; it's a good gateway to get into Liszt's music.  I bought two books with all of his etudes after playing that one 


His TE's are quite tough - I haven't formally learnt any, but I've played around with each.  Gnomenreigen was another I played (and I debated for a while as to which etude between that and Un Sospiro I should do for my exam), and it's got a lot of awesome elements.  Check it out; it's roughly the same difficulty as Un Sospiro, but I'd say the climactic stuff in this one is a bit more tricky.

My teacher wanted me to learn L'Isle Joyeuse, but instead I played the Suite Pour le Piano.  I don't have a grand piano to practice on, and am currently stuck with a crappy upright in a small-ish room.  I'm waiting until I can get at a real piano in a nice big room to learn L'Isle Joyeux; again, I've played around with that one and it isn't too bad.  It's not quite playable without having a fortissimo the entire way through on my piano.

Try out some Scriabin etudes before that beast... he has some very short ones, 2-3 pages, that are immensely beautiful.  Take a look at the Op 42 ones, but unless you have insane rhythm, keep away from #1, 2, and 6.  9 on 5 and 6 on 5 rhythms makes me sick to my stomache 
#3, 5, and 7 are my favorites, and might be worth looking at.
