First of all, include opus numbers when you talk about a piece ( unless they are very obvious). Czerny etude no. 3 doesn't mean anything. Myself, I'd recommend Schumann, to get a more polyphonic writing in your repertoire (since you dont like Bach). Judging by your Rach, I'd say Waldszenen. It's really beautiful and quite dense.
I didn't include the opus numbers because thay are all writen under the line. About Schumann, I've just discovered Papillons Op.2 and I like it a lot. Do you think that it is in my level?
Sorry, didn't see it! Well look, i don't have the slightest clue about your level, because repertore doesn't say much to me. But, if you can pull that prelude convincingly, I think you'd be able to play papillons. Now, I wouldn't recommend it.
Do a Scriabin etude!
I like only Op.2 no.1, Op.8 nos.5, 11, 12. I'm not sure if any of this is worth to play.
8 12 is a fun one.
Oh, I shouldn't play this one, because my classmate plays it. I would probably go for Op.8 no.5 or Schumann Papillons Op.2.
Hey!!! I have a great idea! There is a relatively obscure Debussy piece that I think is close to your level (but will DEFINATELY be a big push)When I learned it, I was pleasantly surprised that it is not quite as technically difficult as it seems at first--- However, it does have a couple of really tough spots in it.... But it is very beautiful and everyone who listened to me play it fell instantly in love with the piece.... I HIGHLY suggest giving it a shot!Its also a perfect example of impressionism........ here is the piece along with the score...
I'd love a recommendation for a new piece as well! To give some idea of my level, I'm wrapping up Schubert's Impromptu op90 no3. My previous pieces were Chopin's Nocturne op9 no2, Dvorak's Humoresque op101 no7, and about half of Chopin's etude op10 no 3. The technical difficulty of the last piece doesn't frighten me, as I'm willing to take as long as I need on it, however.......the real challenge is that I only have a tiny 5 octave keyboard, so many of the songs I play need to be confined to a pretty limited range. That's why I stopped playing the etude, as there was no elegant way to truncate the range to accommodate my tiny keyboard. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear them. As the last few pieces have been fairly "pretty," I'd love something with a bit more violence and speed.
