Can anyone suggest some nice (fairly easy pieces) for a begginer?
on: October 21, 2010, 10:20:02 PM
Hi
I am currently learning from a beginners book but to be honest I'm getting a little sick of playing things like 'Cockles and Muscles', 'Blow the Man Down' and 'The Can Can'.
I would really love to learn some quite easy classical pieces instead of short pieces that are in my book.
I love Moonlight Sonata but can only play the first few bars and have found this a little too difficult. I quite like fairly upbeat pieces (and have quite enjoyed the Can Can because of it's speed) although end up playing it over and over to make it sound a bit longer!
Many thanks in advance

Try the Anna Magdalena Bach
Stay away from Beethoven sonatas, you'll just make it harder to play them in the future.
Even the moonlight 1st is not easy.

The standard method books usually have some supplement books, like a repertoire or practice book, whatever they want to call them.
You might look for easy classical anthologies. I'm sure those are out there too.

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page.
