Repertoire for 6 grade

[annaa joy]

i wonder what repertoire would you give a student who is playing piano for 6 years considering that she is 15 years old?

I would not consider your age that much when choosing repertoire, but rather what your strengths are and what you need to develop further. Some teachers think that young people should not play "big" or "deep" pieces that might benefit from more of the experiences you gain as you age, but I disagree. Whatever age you are, you still have emotions and things to say that you can put into your version of the piece, and as you get older that might change. Unfortunately you saying that you have palyed for 6 years does not say much, because different people can evolve very differently over 6 years depending on how much work they have put in, what type of teacher they have had etc etc. What pieces have you played the most recent year?

[annaa joy]

Most recebt i played October from Tchaikowsky, The sylphes from Burgmuller, twopart invention number 15 from Bach, sonnate no 7 from mozart and moon river by Mancini but arranged by maurizio.

Also to say my teacher said that i can play harder pieces bur refused to give it to me because she thinks that i dont have a lot of time and im very busy going to two schools. i recently got that tecaher and before for 5 years i had one very ypung who didnt come up to classes and when she was there she gave me lessons for 10 minutestwo times a week.

Sorry its acutally sonnata no 12 i f major by mozart

I think generally it's good to build up a strong foundation with more Bach inventions, Mozart sonatas, Haydn sonatas, Clementi sonatas, perhaps other pieces from the season by Tchaikovsky, Burgmuller Etudes etc. You can't really go wrong there, and if the piece you try simply feels too hard, you can try another. I'm sorry your teacher does not support you more, as it would be very good if a teacher could help you out picking some suitable pieces.

Here's the Mozart sonata with the Turkish March, which you may have heard before:

Here's one of the more manageable Beethoven sonatas (still not easy):

Here's a popular Bach prelude & fugue if you want a challenge:
