Advanced Romantic Repertoire suggestions?

[magic_sonata]

Hello. I am searching for some advanced repertoire, more specifically from the Romantic period, from composers such as Chopin, Brahms, Liszt, etc...

All suggestions are much appreciated.

Much thanks.

Visitor person - Bizet Nocturnes - wow, those are pretty! I should try them. I didn't know about Gliere and Kirchner so I listened your videos. Gliere seems like another Russian composer. Kirchner is haunting, it's one of those repertoires that would make me obsessed, despite I don't like it.

Gliere isn't just another Russian composer  His concerti are spectacular, esp. the one for coloratura soprano.

Another "GREAT" Russian composer...

Wow! Great suggestions. Any other ideas?

pretty much anything from the Ukraine from 1825-1925 (and sometimes outside that general time window)

Lysenko is dope.

if you're feeling decidedly brave

if you're feeling decidedly brave

Does it require bravery to make such a decision?

ha ha.  probably not so much to decide to be a 'hero', but to actually be one? probably helps to have it on board.

Why is the image there one of Mazeppa? Is there a connection here?

Anyone else catch the Chopin Ocean Etude Op.25 no.12 quote at 0:59?  ...actually, looking closer, I think the whole prelude is an homage to that etude.

What's so Chopinesque about contiuous arpeggios, lol?

Everyone knows the Chopin, Liszt,... Repertoire.
Your question is not clear enough. For what purpose do you need advise ?
What can you play, at what level, classical period for instance ?
And people should begin starting to observe the unknown romantic masters, like Henselt, and many others. The standard repertoire is played up to the bone, there is no flesh anymore left.

Brahms - Intermezzo op. 118 no. 1 
This is very biased because I really like this one It's full of passion

hmm, get creative, maybe a modern spin on an old classic?

I *heart Stevenson, his treatment of themes of Chopin, Alkan, and others is tops:

didn't feel right putting Emil in the obscure category, outstanding composer and student of Liszt so not exactly unknown.

If you're really willing to work your socks off, how about the Liszt sonata? It is one of those that begins as almost grotesque, but grows on you until you see the beautiful but shamelessly Byronic and virtuosic nature of it.

I tried it and stopped as I just realised that my muscle memory and sight reading were not good enough to be able to feasibly get it up to tempo, but you could give it a go?

Mignone's sonata!
