More "Beautiful" Repertoire?
on: May 08, 2014, 04:22:07 AM
So, as I am likely soon going to be playing for more events (hotel lobbies, dinner parties and such), I'm looking for some better suited repertoire. Since I want to keep the mood happy, (although I would probably through a few minor things in there somewhere) I'm looking for pieces like Clair de Lune and Debussy's First Arabesque, as well as Chopin's op 10/3 and 9/2
So, here's what I have on my list:
Raindrop Prelude
Clair de Lune
First Arabesque
Chopin op 10/3
Chopin op 9/2
Chopin op 17/4
Any suggestions? I was suggested to go for some Schumann.

Saint-Saens - Piano transcription of Le cygne, from Les carnaval des animaux
By the way, the middle section of Chopin's 10/3 might be a little..violent. I'm just curious, are you planning on just playing the A section?

This book is great for reception-style music -
https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/quiet-classics-sheet-music/4775112
Have a look at the "Song List" on the page, but ignore the "Performed by" parts.
It's spiral-bound, which is real helpful. Also the pieces included are in their original form, not simplified or transposed.
