What piece to play?

[peanutbutter]

I need suggestions on what piece I could play that meet these criteria:

-Baroque (preferably)
-intermediate in difficulty/level
-moderately fast - fast tempo
-has a happy/charming mood/feel
-NOT by Bach (as I'm already quite familiar with his works)

I would really appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks you so much for your time.

Have you checked out pieces by Telemann? His Fantasia in D- TWV 33:2 as well as his Solo in F+ TWV 32:4, (the bourree) are quite nice and are around intermediate from the RCM syllabus (grades 8 and 7, respectively). If you are looking for a late intermediate/early advanced, RCM 9, piece I like and played the Scarlatti Sonata in D major K430. However there is a vast number of Scarlatti sonate this is just one suggestion, so you can check the other ones.

-NOT by Bach

 

I have a feeling we're gonna get along REALLY well...

Played an Scarlatti?  His Sonatas are all within the range of intermediate to advanced...  might want to check them out.

Hmm...well, I'm not sure if your intermediate is the same as my intermediate, so can you tell me some of the pieces that you've played?

I agree with asuhayda. Scarlatti's sonatas are along the lines of intermediate and advanced, and I would recommend the Scarlatti Keyboard Sonata K159, L104. It is a very happy piece and is pretty intermediate.

Try some Couperin.

I don't seem to get Bach at all but like baroque music in general. There are so many Scarlatti sonatas worth learning that I wouldn't know which one to recommend. You could start by checking out the graded ones on pianostreet.
Also I find some of the Telemann fantasies really nice.

Thanks to everyone ! I'm beginning to like this Scarlatti person...

Try some Couperin.

I second this.

You might enjoy playing some of Antonio Soler's Sonatas.
