Left-hand repertoire?

[fnork]

I was thinking that Iīd pick up Ravelīs left-hand concerto once more, a piece Iīve studied before, and was thinking about adding other left-hand works to the repertoire. Apart from there being several beautiful works for left hand alone, it is also very useful and developing to work on pieces focusing only on the left hand. What are to your mind the most interesting/valuable pieces in the left-hand repertoire?

Iīd mention the following:

Scriabin - Prelude & Nocturne op. 9
Godowsky - several of the chopin studies written for the left hand are interesting in their own right, in particular the one made after op 10 nr 6 in E flat minor
Alkan - nr 1 from three etudes


Ravel is said to have studied Saint-saens etudes for the left hand while writing his concerto, but I donīt think very highly of them as musical pieces.

What are to your mind the most interesting/valuable pieces in the left-hand repertoire?

I would certainly recommend the Blumenfeld etude op. 36. Here is a performance of that piece by James Rhodes during a tea break:

Paul

Bach-Brahms, Chaccone

[m1469]

I would certainy recommend the Blumenfeld etude op. 36.

Oh, shucks, you beat me to it!  I just learned of this piece last weekend and instantly wanted to play it.  I have never thought of myself as particularly drawn to single-handed playing since I just love to use both, but this was so impressive it seemed very satisfying!
