Not gonna lie it took me awhile to warm up to Bach. Now I feel like every program I play needs to have something by him in it. Someday I'll get around to playing the Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue!
What has worked for me to identify new pieces: I committed to listening to three new to me’ pieces every day, mainly from music found on the internet: music on forums such as this one, music found by listening to s pianist I enjoy snd poking around to see what else they have played, searching for music by genre, composer or musical period, Just exploring a little has netted over 200 pieces on my ‘need to learn’ list. More than enough for a lifetime- snd my list still grows. Because I chose the pieces, it is not someone else’s opinion of what I might like to play. .. but all mine.
I’m glad others found my post regarding finding new pieces useful, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out a wonderful resource for new music— the posts of music by Visitor here on Piano Street. Do yourself a favor and listen to the music he has suggested ( you can use the forum member search function to see all of his posts). I have found a number of pieces for my lists based on his posts.
