New Piecws To Play

[justinjalandoni]

Hi guys! Can you suggest pieces for me to play. Im a late intermediate pianist. Something playable and challenging will be really good.

Maybe you could tell us what music you are into and some pieces you have already played? That way it would be easier to make suggestions  .

[justinjalandoni]

1. Mozart - Piano Sonata in C Major k330 - 1st Movement
2. Mozart - Piano Sonata in C major k545 - 1st Movement
3. Mozart - Variations on Ah Vous Dirai Je Maman ( Theme to variation 5)
3. Beethoven - Fur Elise
4. Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata - 1st and 2nd movements ( the last time i played this however was months ago. LOL)
5. JS Bach - 2 part inventions in D minor
6. JS Bach - 2 part invention in F major
7. JS Bach - Prelude in C major from WTC book 1
8. Liszt - Liebestraum No. 3 (i can play this okay. but i still find it very tricky and i make some mistakes. It's friggin difficult. A miracle i even finished it LOL)
9. Chopin - Scherzo in G minor (posthumous)
10. Satie - Gymnopedie no 1

You should try Schubert's Impromptu No.1 Op.90.

William Byrd's book of keyboard music, My Ladye Nevells Booke of Virginal Music, is excellent for practice. The pieces are exquisitely crafted and very beautiful, given the chance. They also help improve your ability to sight-read; a skill invaluable for any pianist. So long as you actually sight-read them.

Try Chopin Nocturne Op.27 No 2. in D flat major. Technically not very difficult, but musically very challenging. It is also a most beautiful piece. The 2nd and 3rd movement of the k330 are beautiful and fun to learn.
I would recomend playing the fugue to the c major prelude, it is a bot pointless to learn just the prelude, because the fugue will help you with your fingers. or if the Fugue is too difficult try a 3 part invention. Finish your variations.
If i were you i would also get Czerny Art of velocity op.740, etudes. Etudes are compulsory for any pianist. You should play one for you left hand and one for your right hand to begin with. No.8 os really good for the left hand and No.16 is good for the right hand, and they are also nice and fun pieces to play.

Good luck.
