looking for new piano pieces
on: August 30, 2012, 05:25:03 PM
Hi,

I've been playing piano for many years now, but I've been very lazy the last few years: I've just been playing in bands, it's been years since I've practiced playing sheet music.

Now, I have some recording equipment and would like to record some easy piano pieces that I can learn within minutes / hours. I can sightread trough most of Bach's little book for Anna Magdalena Bach, so the difficulty of the repertoire I'm looking for should be a little bit harder than that.

I prefer barok, romantic and impressionistic music.

Who can help me?

It's spelled baroque-not barok. Back to the topic, here are some suggestions-

Bach Inventions
Beethoven Fur Elise
Beethoven Moonlight Sonata Op.27 No.2 (1st mvt.)
Mozart early works (K1-12 or something)
Chopin Prelude Op.28 No.7 (some of his other preludes might be good for you too)
Schumann Kinderszenen Op.15 (Nos.1 and 7 will probably suit you)
Debussy Prelude "Girl with the Flaxen Hair"
Scriabin Prelude Op.11 No.4

Bach Prelude and Fugue BWV848
Beethoven Piano Sonata Op.13
Chopin Etude Op.10 No.4
Chopin Scherzo Op.31
Mussorgsky "The Great Gate of Kiev" from Pictures at an Exhibition

I'm not a native English speaker - not an excuse though, correct is correct.
