Etudes in voicing and musicallity

[qpalqpal]

I would really like pieces of the Romantic era that test or help with musicality expression and not worrying about technicallity.

For example (I think):
Chopin prelude 4, 6, 7
Chopin étude op. 25. no. 7

I am not sure. Look at my signature so you know where I am at.

I know that 'not worrying about technicality' and 'Alkan' don't mix, but I felt that I should share this with you for future consideration.

Alkan Etudes (especially Op. 35)

But of pieces similar to the ones you listed, I would suggest Chopin Etude 25/1, 10/3, or 10/6. There may be more etudes that I am not aware of that focus on voicing.

Faure - 1845 to 1924.
These are his "romances without words" - not exactly etudes, but they are romantic, have a strong voicing requirement and won't be as technically challenging as the ever persistent Chopin etudes.

No.3 is probably the more suitable for you.

1) More Bach!

2) Alkan is exceptionally good practice. There are some pieces within your range that would be excellent practice.  I have attached one such.

Blummenfeld!

you all might have heard about one of his students, some chap by the name of horrowitz...

Perhaps I'm terribly wrong, but I've always thought of technique as a means to musical expression.

So basically, you always have to worry about technique unless you've already acquired the technique necessary to facilitate expression.

Are you asking for "easier" romantic pieces that you can tackle from a technical standpoint so you can evaluate/work on your musical expression?  Unfortunately "easier" is relative and I think it would be imprudent and silly to recommend anything without at least hearing you play.

Post recordings and/or vids of your playing and I'd be willing to recommend pieces for you!

Agreed, I suspect OP means that the piece shouldn't be full of fast passages, or anything that is generally considered to be physically challenging.
