Repertoire recommendations to build toward more advanced rep?

[eggegg]

Hi all, I’m currently preparing for an LRSM exam, but I’m considering my new repertoire for after my exam. I am not planning to take any more exams after the LRSM in the near future (I’ll be in year 11 in September so busy with GCSEs), so that gives me more freedom on the repertoire I can learn. I’ve been wanting to play Liszts 11th transcendental etude, but I don’t think my ability is quite there yet, especially with the large jumps and chords (I don’t want to think I can play it and then end up playing it too early and badly). Could anyone recommend any pieces that would be slightly easier than the harmonies du soir, but help me build up to it? I’ve also been quite keen on learning chopins op 44 polonaise or his second scherzo but I’m not 100% sure I can play them (I just need some reassurance or someone to tell me I’m not ready yet). I’ve learnt all the notes for the polonaise with hands separate and slowly, and so far it seems ok. Haven’t tried the scherzo yet.

Another thing I’ve been interested in is learning a concerto - could anyone recommend any that would be suitable for my level? I’ve written out some pieces that I’ve played previously below.


Repertoire I’m playing for the exam:

Schumann Abegg Variations
Beethoven Sonata op 31 no 3 (the hunt)
Bach well tempered klavier book 1 prelude and fugue no 16 (bwv 861)
Liszt 3 concert etudes, no 3 - un sospiro


Some repertoire I’ve played in the past:
Beethoven pathetique sonata
Chopin C sharp minor nocturne
Chopin etudes 10/9, 10/12, 25/1, 25,9
Some czerny school of velocity (op 299)
Debussy arabesque no 1
Schubert op 90 no 3 impromptu

Thanks so much all!
