That is an incredibly ambiguous question, especially spread amongst so many composers.  What kind of music are you looking for - is there a grade level you're looking for, or just a style (concerto, solo work, symphony etc.)?

Sorry should mention.. Solo piano work. Not too hard grade!

I can play Mendelssohn - Op 30 no.6 , Beethoven Moonlight Sonata Mvt.1 , Schumann - Child falling asleep , Schumann Op 28 No.2 , Bach Contrapunctus 1 and more. Now you should have an idea of what i can handle!

Get a copy of World Renowned Piano Pieces book 1. It's the best compilation I've found.

Well, this forum includes a sheet music library from which members can download TONS of music, most of it graded by skill level (though you have to take those with a grain of salt - they claim 'WAY too many pieces are all at the same level, once you get to the difficult ones).

Also, I suggest you check out Burgmuller's two sets of easy-ish works, his Op 100, 25 Easy and Progressive Studies and his Op 109, similar, but a bit more difficult.  Many are fantastically musical, especially for "exercises".  Oh, and both are available in Piano Street's "piano music" section.

Good Luck!

I've played an amount of Burgmuller.. In the starting period of piano.
Please suggest pieces from the composer's listed. I can't look through all the sheets on this site when i don't know when the pieces are any good. I would like to hear you're favorites!

In Piano Street's archives are the Burgmuller pieces I recommend, and here are those I like from his Opus 100:  Nos. 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, and 22. 

If you like these, you can go on to some of his more challenging Opus 109 works, especially Nos. 3 (surprisingly challenging to get the tempo, phrasing, and staccato/legato mix right), 7, 9  & 14 (all simple and beautiful), and 11, 12, and 13.

Enjoy!
