Suggestions please (Schumann's carnival)

[shoremusic]

Hi,

I recently learned the piece 'Chopin' from the carnival suite by Schumann:

------

I am looking to learn some similar pieces around the same difficulty that perhaps are a bit longer that have the same lyrical quality or style.

I already play other similar things like:

kinderszenen by Schumann
Chopin's nocturnes
Consolation no.3 by Liszt
Liebestraum by Liszt
Mendelssohn - Songs without Words Op. 19 No. 1

I am sure to be overlooking lots of great pieces and I want to expand my repertoire..(pieces like Liebestraum take forever for me to learn).

Thanks.

I don't know where to start... Perhaps more Chopin, things like maybe Ballade No. 3 (It would be a stretch but musically you would have good motivation) or A few preludes like Raindrop or Op. 45 in C sharp minor. Maybe some Schubert like Impromptu No. 3 of the first set in G flat Major, very lyrical if that's what you're after. Would you consider some Beethoven? If you want something longer maybe a sonata like the Pathetique.
