The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Urgent Repertoire suggestions!
on: March 16, 2016, 08:51:50 PM
So my piano teacher announced that there would be a concert on the 1st of June (2 and a half months from now) and she said apart from the pieces I already have in my repertoire, I can choose one more piece that I can learn in these two and a half months and perform. She said it can be of any length, but I would ask you to give suggestions of fairly shorter pieces (around 4- 8 minutes) or something that can be learnt quickly. I have also only been playing for a year and half, so nothing TOO hard  ;D but I love a challenge. The thing is around the same time I also have three other major performances and I'm preparing different repertoire lists for that so I'm quite busy :(
I generally like classical music but more romantic like Chopin.

Pieces I have previously learnt:

Clementi Sonatinas Op. 36 no. 1 and no.6
Mozart Rondo in D major K.485
Mozart Sonata K.545
Beethoven Moonlight sonata mvt. 1 and 2
Dimitri Kabalevsky Novella Op. 27 no. 25
Leyenda (or Asturias) by Isaac Albeniz
Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals Aquarium (Piano 1)
I don't know if you've heard of this? It's from a piano book my piano teacher had: attached is the recording. Its a jazz arrangement of Johannes Brahm's Hungarian Dance no.1.[/li][/list]


Thank you

Scarlatti Sonata K466 :



Shostakovich Merry Tale :



Mendelssohn : song without word opus 102 no 6 :
