Hi, I'd like to play some next Chopin, but I don't know which one is the best for me. I don't want to play something very popular, but still very effective and enjoyable to listen. I'm starting Un Sospiro this week, too. And I will play the Liszt and Chopin on the same concert, so I want a bit contast piece.
Thanks for answers!

I would go for his Impromptu no.1 in A flat Major.

It is quite famous but not on the same level as the Raindrop Prelude, Fantasie Impromptu, Nocturne 2 in E flat Major etc.

It is not particularly difficult, once you have the hands going together at a slow pace speeding it up won't be difficult at all.

It is quite showy at the beginning, and the middle section is fantastic, grand in a very dark manner, not aggressive, but it certainly does not hide within itself.

Music is the greatest subsitute for words. In a life where we cannot succeed at work and we fail with women there is music which can tell anyone our words, words in which we want to scream but cannot!
