I'm sorry for asking but I SUCK at finding stuff that's post-romantic era. This is going to sound really bad but I've actually never played anything that's impressionistic or 20th/21st century cause I'm always caught up with Chopin, Bach, Mozart etc.. But I do want some good pieces from this era under my belt for auditions, competitions etc.. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!
