Can you recommend a piece for intensive left hand 4th finger?

Meanwhile tomorrow I might just post my version of Liebestraum

I look forward to it - it's a lovely piece I have not heard in a while actually!

Once again, because the so-called moderator on this website does not weigh in with their own opinion, we are taken for a grand fools ride.  Evidence this recently from the OP:  "and with no pressure from teacher or family cause I don't intend to be a pianist, it's just a hobby."

Hey guys (and gals), if somebody just walked up to you on the street, would you spend the kind of time and effort you have spent on this post?  I think not!

I think Yadeehoo was saying that he does not want to earn a living as a pianist.  He just wants to play piano as a hobby.  But I read the discussion in “What is the tempo of this song” a few minutes ago and this does give me reason for concern.  

I believe Yadeehoo is sincere in his wanting to play piano for enjoyment.   He wants to learn the piano using his own made up method.  This is admirable.  At the same time he is asking for help.  Of course the answers he gets are based on traditional learning methods.  But Yadeehoo does not want to learn using traditional methods at this point.  This is leading to conflict.

I’m hoping that Yadeehoo will maybe do a little less posting and also be respectful to the members that offer help.  Members are acting in good faith and are giving help based on many years of hard work and study. However, every helper has the right to not offer help at any point.

Point well taken.  When you have someone who wants to learn in a non-traditional way, and that personal  method extends to not needing to know or  attempting to honor the time signature written in music, to offer advice based on the traditional  methods of theory and graded progress to that person will not be accepted and will indeed, lead to conflict.

There seems to be no reason to offer advice based on traditional methods.  The response will be 'go back to learning your craft'. 

What is not acceptable is, that when you want to 'do it your way', that you insist you understand traditional theory, because there has been no training in it, and no apparent desire to learn it.  Therefore, a rogue approach such as not caring that 6/8 time means an eighth note gets one beat and cannot be converted at whim to a 'more pleasing to practice signature' should not be shared with those who want to learn traditional theory.

Louis is right--time wasted.
