more challenging music?

[rjarsenault1101]

I'm looking for someone who knows more challenging music they could reccomend. I'm in level 8 in royal conservatory, but the classical style they have just bores the crap out of me! does anyone know of anything, about that level, that could be a little more exciting?

Id definitely suggest rachmaninoff because he is, in my opinion a very exciting composer.
These are some of his more difficult and lively pieces:
Id try out his etudes-tableaux Op. 33 and 39. Just check out which ones you like. (I recommend No 2 and 4 from Op. 33 and 3, 5, 6, and 9 from Op 39.) I also enjoy his preludes op. 23 no 2 and 7 (7 is especially difficult)

Im currently playing his Moment Musical no. 4. on the side. Its extremely beautiful and very exciting and difficult.

For Liszt:
Id try out Un sospiro - a very beautiful piece and quite difficult towards the middle.
If you are up to the challenge, Id try out the Transcendental etudes. Id search up which are easier, but id think its no 1, 2,3 and 10 and a few others. (they are still insanely difficult) 10 is my favorite though.

For Scriabin:
Scriabin, not only being difficult in the technicalities (speed and jumps and chords), he is also very difficult in timing.
Id reccommend his ever famous Etude Op. 8 No. 12 and prelude Op. 11 no. 1 and 14.


Hope this helped.
