Please, help me decide which piece should be my next one

[svetlio320]

Hi, I've been playing the piano for 4 years now, up until recently I played very nonchalant and casually, not caring enough to even do exercises like scales and etudes and simply skipping and doing what I like. Though, I realised that this is in no way an optimal method of learning anything so I became solemn about music and now wish to be a good pianist. I'm very close to perfecting the Op55 no1 Chopin Nocturne and wonder what my next piece should be. My teacher thinks Fantasie-Impomptu needs more technique so that in on itself is out of the question. My ideas were:
1: Either one of the Liebstraums
2: The first of the "3 nouvelle etudes" of Chopin
3: Chopin's Op48 no1 Nocturne
4. Chopin's Op27 no1
 or a Beethoven sonata

Please help me decide which piece would be good for me (doesn't have to be one of the pieces I picked) Thank you in advance, I endorse all opinions

I think a well-chosen Beethoven sonata (maybe with the assistance of your teacher?) would be a good all-round choice from those listed! Chopin Op 27 no 1 may work if you know how to play the very extended left hand patterns while staying relaxed. But Beethoven will give you a more all-round package of foundational technical problems.

Hi, I commented on a different thread you started inquiring on the nocturnes. I think you should learn Op 9 no 1. Trust me when I say it works well as a bridge into some of the more advanced nocturnes you want to play. It's a bit more challenging than Op 55 no 1 and has technical and musical elements more equipped to assist you on the Opus 27 pair

A Beethoven sonata would also work. You'd have to ask your teacher which one would work best for your goals though!
