[49410enrique]

i'm in a strange place where what used to make up this category is becoming more and more accessable to me so i think i need to think hard and long about it and re form, be that as it may,

this piece has always intrigued me, i think i'd put it in my list somehwere

[fftransform]

There aren't really any pieces in the common repertoire that I "couldn't play" from a technique perspective, but there are certainly some that don't fit very well into my strengths, so ones that I wish I could play better, but that I have played in the past:

Rzewski NAB4
Prokofiev Toccata
Bartok Sonata
Barber Sonata Op. 26
Busoni Sonatina No. 6
Liszt Apres un Lecture du Dante
Scriabin Sonata No. 6

I also don't have very large hands, so Prokofiev's War Sonatas are a bit iffy, as is Bartok Etude No. 1.

Very busy with my regular job atm, but things I wish I had time to pick up:

Feinberg Sonatas 4-6.

[shubertimproviz]

Liszt, concert etudes (complete)
Liszt, Liebestraume no .3
Liszt , "mazeppa"
Liszt, other pieces etc
Chopin, Klavierkonzert e-moll no.1 \ballades/

[williampiano]

Here's some stuff I'm looking into for after exams. I definitely won't get to all of it. It's just different stuff I have been looking at and holding in consideration. I'll probably just choose a few of these to learn next.

Beethoven- Sonata op. 2 no. 1 complete
Cyril Scott- The Lotus Land
Charles Griffes- The White Peacock and The Vale of Dreams
Darius Milhaud- any of the pieces from (Saudades do Brasil)
Some Rachmaninoff Preludes
Debussy- Passepied (Suite Bergamasque), la puerta del vino, les collines d'anacapri
Scriabin- Poeme op. 32 no. 2
Brahms- I'm listening to a lot of his piano works, and I like all of it. So I'll try to learn some of the Intermezzos, Capriccios etc.
Prokofiev- Allemande op. 12, Diabolical Suggestions and probably some other stuff.
Some Sonatas by Soler and Scarlatti
Bach- Prelude and Fugue in A Major (book 1), possibly one of the French or English Suites, and some other stuff.
Maybe one of Mozart's Sonatas
Chopin- Mazurka op. 6 no. 1, and a lot of other music.
Dohnanyi- Postludium, Rhapsody op. 11 no. 3
...and much, much more.....

As you've probably noticed, I have a really long list of pieces in consideration, so I'm sure it will take me quite a long time to narrow this list down to about 4 or 5 pieces to start after CM.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Pieces that I don't have the ability to play yet that I want in my repertoire eventually:

Gaspard de la Nuit
Petrouchka

Prokofiev piano concerto 3

[jimbo320]

I'm tend to be more contemporary...

[stiefel]

Chopin: Barcarolle, Andante Spianato + Grande Polonaise Brillante

Beethoven: Sonata in A flat op 110

Debussy: Estampes (already played pagodes so i'm 33% there haha!)

Brahms: Various pieces from op 116-9

Sigh, I don't know.  My tastes change often and there is so much repertoire I haven't even been exposed to that my answer to this question will change until the day I die.

Rachmaninoff - Preludes
Chopin - Scherzos (complete), Polonaises (some of them)
and of course
I'd like to be able to play Mozart, technically not very difficult... but........... -_- It's a pain that I always play it badly...
