Need some new music please!
on: August 07, 2009, 04:50:57 PM
Hi, I've been playing the piano for three years and would say I'm about grade 5ish. I'm a bit stuck for music at the moment and can't find anything that interests me. Could anyone recommend anything?Thanks Kizi

Well, what kind of music did you use to play? what pieces did you learn? if you got bored of classical music and you want to try something different for the moment, you can go for some modern music...
or if you just looking for new pieces, well.. since u grade 5ish, you should get a look on Schubert, maybe you'll find something interesting like The Moment Musicaux or some Impromptus.
If you not into Schubert, how about Edvarg Grieg? he did surely nice pieces to play.. absolutely not hard to play and very nice to listen to! Oh, listen to some Lyrics pieces (the march of the dwarfs for example)
I'd also recommend you some Bach, I know someone will think it's just boring.. but not to me!
I can stay all day and night here trying to give you some advice, but it's actually better not to.

Since we don't say anything about what you played, we can really be completely helpful...

Hungarian rhapsody no 2 is a great piece but i dont think that anyone at grade 5 could play that. You could maby try one of chopins easier etudes if you want to get your technique up. you could try a mozart sonata.

Bach: inventions 1,7 and 8
Scarlatti: sonata K.32
Haydn: any of the early sonatas
Mozart: fantasy in D minor
Mendelssohn: songs without words
Grieg: two elegiac melodies & lyrical pieces
Tchaikovsky: selections from the Seasons
Prokofiev: various Visions Fugitives
Mussorgsky: Le larmes
Rachmaninoff: Fragments (1917)
Debussy: Reverie & La Plus Que Lente
Ravel: prelude
Satie: sonatina bureaucratique

I hope that helped.

Go for the contemporary.  How about contemporary and complicated rock music in piano?  Be different.  Let the soul-music out of your system and let it just play.  Whether it is a new song or not.  It will a totally new music because you played it.  ;)
