For a short summary:
Op 10/5 and 10/12 tend to be popular choices.

For another short summary:
Depends on your own technical abilities.
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

25/2 25/8.... look at the first 10 in op 25. Op 10 is pretty challenging, mostly....that is what I think.

Op. 10 no. 6
Technically, it's definitely 10/6, correct.
I started out with 25/12 I believe, or it might have been 25/1. Can't remember for sure.

Op.25 no.1 and no.2 are the best choices

no.1 for fingers to be separate and smooth.
no.2 for your fingers to be active and make the sweet sound also for your left hand!

try these!
