recommend me some music to learn, please
on: June 19, 2011, 01:51:28 PM
Hi,
I am 15 and I have been quite a lazy pianist for the last 6 years (I only paid attention to the chords and structures but forgot that it's neccessary so be able to really play music - I'm playing with some jazz/funk/prog bands right now and I really need to get beter) and now I found out that I want to upgrade my technique. I have finished music school and I have chosen some etudes (hope the plural is correct) to study in the summertime. I am willing to practice a lot, but (besides the etudes) I would like to play some stuff that is more musical than Clementi ... Can anyone recomend me music that is on the technical level of Doctor Gradus Ad Parnassum (yeah I suck) and is just about as interesting. I do listen to classical, but it's hard to find stuff that is easy eough for me and at the same time very interesting ... I mean ... I'm kinda sick of Mozart and 1-4-5 based compositions, ;) I'm sure there is other stuff out there that I can play and is enjoyable, so please recommend me some melodic modern music, I really don't know how to define it and I don't THAT know much classical
Otherwise I'm more of a jazz guy but I started to dig classical like Debussy, Bartok, Stravinsky ... I don't think I can play any of their piano stuff (from what I've heard), but hope that this gives you the idea about what kind of music i prefer  :-\
Sorry for the bad english and thank you fot the potential answers. :)
