Scary Halloween Music
on: September 28, 2021, 10:25:52 PM
An early intermediate student wants to play a piece for Halloween that "scares the soul" and is "creepy".  Any suggestions for something she can learn in a month?

In the hall of the MountainKing?

Aside from your level and prep time, Scriabin's 6th sonata?

I know some kids like this piece called "Spooky Story", not sure if it's early intermediate or too easy:

Liszt Nuages gris always felt rather spooky to me and not that challenging.

An easier Scriabin piece which like the 6th sonata he never played in public, calling it a "ghastly piece". (I was actually preparing the 6th sonata for Halloween myself, but it's not going to be ready in time so will have to do it next year)
