Help with new repertoire

[joaosousa]

Hey,

I would like to learn new repertoire mainly because I'm considering a career as a pianist and I haven't played any russian piece besides a Shostakovich prelude...

I would love to play some of Rachmaninoff or Prokofiev (or similar composers) work.

I'm currently playing:

-Beethoven Sonata No. 6 (op.10 n.2)
-Bach three part invention no. 10 (BWV 796)
-Czerny étude op.299 no. 39
-Chopin Polonaise op. 40 no. 2

Can you give me some suggestions? (Have in attention the difficulty)

Thank you.

Bach:
WTC (you could probably handle most of the stuff in there)

Chopin:
Polonaise op 40/1 (if you haven't played it already)
Polonaises Op 26
All Chopin preludes except for B flat minor, G sharp minor, and F sharp minor would be fine
Mazurkas for musical benefit (and good sightreading!)
Etudes Op 10/3, 10/6, 10/11, 10/12, 25/1, 25/2, 25/7 (choose one of them, don't try to play them all!)

For Russian music, Rach is my favorite:
Moments Musicaux op 16
Elegie op 3/1
Prelude in C# minor op 3/2
Prelude in B flat major Op 23/2 (I think? Haven't messed with the preludes in a long time)

Don't you think Chopin etudes are too much ?

I now realize that 10/2 maybe shouldn't have been on the list. Yes, they're a bit of a stretch, but it's about the next step up from the polonaises you've done. 10/3 of course is a nice one, as is 10/6 (highly underrated in terms of musicality), and 10/11 is a nice finger strecher (and good for pedal practice). The op 25 etudes I recommended are rated as the "easiest" of the bunch, though the difficulty will depend on your playing style.

Thank you!
