Need a recommendation for a new piece
on: October 02, 2014, 07:19:31 PM
I am aged 64 and have been playing for 4.5 years. I am retired and I practice a lot. Have worked through the Mozart Piano Sonata #4 and can play it from memory albeit crudely, with inevitable mistakes, but with surprisingly sustained periods of real expressivity, particularly the first movement. While I continue to polish the piece I would like to tackle my next piece which would help me advance my technique and seriously challenge me but not crush me. Looking for something no more than 20-25 minutes and I wondered if a contrapuntal piece would be one to consider. But I am open to any period.
I play on a 1961 Wurlitzer spinet. My hands are not large and each can accommodate one octave only. I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

How about a handful of Soler sonatas ?
You can simply pick and choose to fill your time requirement

Try some Stephen Heller. Perhaps also the early sonatas of Beethoven, no.7 in D is just about the easiest. Or some Haydn (perhaps the early sonatas in D or C Minor). Soler is fun.
