Recommended pieces to play

[megakentar]

I just finished my jury for the semester and now I'm looking for new repertoire to play.

If anyone could recommend any pieces that would be great.

As far as technique goes, I preferably wouldn't want to play anything that is technically harder than the Transcendental Etudes.

Thank you!

Well, we could recommend pieces that range from a Bach's Minuet to Chopin's 4th ballade. Try to give more information on your post, since it's absolutely impossible to suggest anything good the way it is.

Lots of Chopin. If you haven't played all the polonaises yet, start with the C# minor. Middle section is gorgeous and has a very good opening for showing off your technical skill.

I could give you some criteria. Perhaps something something fairly chromatic and lyrical (No Chopin, I've played much of his music). Anything beautiful to mournful. I would rather not play something too modern or abstract.

Repertoire is huge. Even if we take Chopin out, there are about 76546857943413525 pieces to choose. We need to know some information about your taste. Since I know little about your taste, I will use mine.

Here are some for a start (hopefully some people will add more).

Mendelssohn :

Chaminade :

Schumann :

Granados :

Grieg :

Agathe Backer-Grondahl :

Charles-Valentin Alkan :

Moritz Moszkowski :

Could you give an exemple of a composition that is "too modern or too abstract"? Is Prokofiev too modern ?

Why the hell not?
