Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.

Looking for something different
on: April 15, 2018, 02:36:00 PM
Current working on Liszt's Liebestraum 3 and am getting there, but have reached the stage where I need something else to work on besides it.

Was thinking of trying some Scriabin or similar, but am not that familiar with repertoire.

Any recommendations for something along those lines? Difficulty - would not want much harder than the Liszt, altho appreciate this is always pretty subjective.

Rachmaninov's prelude op.23 no.4 in D major


This is quite pretty and henle ranks it at around the same difficulty level as the Liebestraum, so I think it's doable (haven't played it myself yet though)
Learning:
Chopin etudes: 10/1, 10/2, 10/4
Messiaen vingt regards No.2
Beethoven sonata op.7
Schumann Abegg variations

maybe some Herea?
Marius' music is really appealing and though known In some circles,  it remains pretty underrated in most places
