ARCT/Grade 10 Baroque, Classical, Impressionist and 20th century pieces

[jugular]

I'm just finishing Rach's Prelude op.23 #5, and when I was thinking about starting a Chopin etude afterwards I realized how limited my genre of pieces is: they're almost all romantic era pieces! Beethoven's Sonata Op.13, No.8 Mov.1-3 (3rd is still sloppy...), Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu, Liszt's Liebestraum No.3, and now Rach's Prelude Op.23 No.5 are the main songs I have under my belt right now.

Can anyone please reccomend me some Baroque, Classical, Impressionist and 20th century pieces that are around the Grade 10/ARCT level? I need to add more variety in my playing if I ever want to teach!

i'm not familar with these grading systems i was always taught under the vague 'beginner' 'intermediate' 'early advanced' 'advanced' etc.

id classify this in the early advanced but pro really make it shine and sing,  you'd want a very well developed ,ie advanced, classical technique, that said i think it is a lovely little piece

maybe you'll take a shinning to it

Mikhail Marutaev  Sonatina for Piano

his estate/website makes the work available for download score and audio (wonderful recording the only one i know of , of the composer himself playing the piece. I believe it is the audio used for the YT vid as well).
https://www.marutaev.ru/english/music_en.htm

scroll down to the very bottom you shoudl be able to download a zip file witht he score images and the mp3


his bio is fascinating, the man was a numerical/mathematical genius and his theories on numerical harmony of the universe (explained with musical concepts) is fascinating. a pdf of one of his articles is available as a downlaod on his site as well.

i'm sure other folks can reccommend many other wonderul works to explore but your best bet is just dig in and look at lots of scores and listen to lots of recordings to see what speaks to you musically.

btw for baroque, really look into CPE Bach's works (beyond the 'solfegietto' , i.e his sonatas are

wonderful!)
