A new repertoire.
on: February 08, 2011, 06:06:13 PM
I don't have anything against Chopin, quite the contrary, I always want to learn a new piece of him.  However, I think I need to wide my repertoire and learn new pieces of other composers like Mozart, Bach, Debussy, Beethoven, etc. so I can get a better technique

Could you give me some suggestion?

I think I am in level 5.

I would suggest Scarlatti sonatas, Heller studies and Bach preludes/fugues and 2 part inventions.

I agree about the above user about everything, except the prelude/fugues. Well maybe you could try the preludes, but I think the fugues may be a little too hard of you're at a level 5.  (If you're referring to the level system that pianostreet uses).

Fur Elise is a very nice piece, and about your level I think. (Though maybe a little overplayed)

Mozart Fantasy in D minor is also nice. It may be slightly over the level you said, but you may be able to handle it.

Hope this helps.

:)
Currently:
Chopin Grand Valse Brilliante
Mozart Piano Sonata K 332
Scriabin Preludes Op 11 no.5,6,7
Bach Prelude and Fugue in G minor

Take a look at the Bach 2 part inventions.  Nothing else will improve your playing  more than these will.  Another thought would of course be Clementi Sonatina's . They are very musical and to play them well is still challenging.  Best of luck .

Cheers, Becky
