Good pieces for a piano and violin chamber group
Hey guys! Next year I will be playing in a chamber with a violinist, and I'm trying to find repertoire that is challenging enough but not too difficult for me to play.

I'm currently studying in a conservatoire, I don't know how grades are in other country but in my country I'm in grade 5 out 6 before attending college.

As of solo repertoire the more challenging pieces (in my opinion) I have played are:

• Chopin's Polonaise Op.40 No.1
  
  Rachmaninoff Prelude Op.3 No.2
  
  Czerny Etude Op.740 No.50/41/37
  
  Bach Prelude and Fugue in D Major / D Minor
  
  Sibelius Etude Op.76 No.2

As of chamber music I have played with two different groups, two violins and two trumpets.

The repertoire I have played is the following:

• Shostakovich's 5 Pieces for Violin and Piano
  
  Turina Córdoba en Fiesta (arr. for 2 trumpets and piano)

I have found the following pieces which seem to be doable:

• Rachmaninoff: Romance for Violin and Piano
  
  Dvorak: Ballade for violin and piano Op. 15
  
  Amy Beach - Romance for violin and piano Op. 23 (this one seems more difficult)
  
  Gabriel Fauré: Romance for Violin and Piano Op. 28 (this one also seems difficult)
  
  Gabriel Fauré: Berceuse for Violin (Op. 16)

From the following are there any pieces that you may recommend for my level? (if they are a bit above my level so I can challenge myself it's good) The violinist is also 1 grade above me.

Thanks a lot in advance!
