Favorite Intermediate Compositions

[pianolotus]

I know there are threads similar to this but;

What are your favorite compositions from when you were an intermediate?

Please list specific compositions and not just "well tempered clavier"

thanks

[anda]

define intermediate: what were the last works you performed?

[pianolotus]

intermediate: moonlight, fur elise (yea, i know - lol) 

I suppose its the age old question, songs that are a bit more difficult that fur elise.

Man 1 month or 2 ago this forum was so much more interesting...
I dont hate u pianolotus but i think you should read more and write less.
