Music for left hand alone

on: July 24, 2009, 11:40:28 PM

Hi all,

A friend of mine injured her right hand and I wanted to make it easy for her to browse the enormous literature for left hand alone.

Would you like to post your favorites here?

Thanks.

A great favorite is Scriabin's Prelude & Nocturne, for the left hand alone, op9, available free here on PianoStreet.

If she is looking for arrangements for the left hand, rather than original classical works, this link might help:

And this looks like it might be really interesting:

Leopold Godowski: tons of pieces for left hand alone. His "Elegy" is particularly well-known in the literature.

Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den, der heimlich lauschet.

Nepomuceno-Melodie, easy piano piece that's written for left hand only, though can be played with both hands.
