I originally posted this in "Repertoire" and then realized that this is probably a better place.

Hello, I am a 17 year old who started playing about 4 months ago, first just learning scales and what not. I have learned about half of Scarlatti's K13 and half of Bach's Minuet 1 from the Partita in B flat major. I have recently begun reading Bernhard's comments regarding practice and what not, and I would love it if I could see a list of the relative difficulty of the pieces I am about to list so that I can formulate a  plan using Bernhard's methods.

Pieces:

Bach:

The 6 Partitas : Every Piece

WTC B1: 3rd Prelude, 17th Prelude

WTCB2: 2nd Prelude, 3rd Prelude & Fugue, 8th Prelude, 13th Prelude, 19th Prelude, 24th Prelude

Little Preludes: C Minor BMV934,

Goldberg Variations: Every Piece

English Suites:

No.2: Bouree/Bouree de capo

No3: Gavotte/Gavotte de Capo

No4: Menuet/Menuet de capo and Gigue

Inventions/Sinfonias: Inventions 2, 5, 8   Sinfonia 12


SCARLATTI:

K70, K322, K1, K2, K21, K430, K9


Beethoven sonata no.19 op.49 no.1


-I am also interested to hear what people have to say in terms of what editions of sheet music are best for these pieces. It seems Kirkpatrick is good for Scarlatti, but what about the different Bach works?


That's all for now! (As you can tell I love Bach)
