Piece selection

on: April 05, 2005, 02:29:46 AM

Hi, I need some suggestions about what piece I should play next. I recently finished the Grieg concerto, but I found it too long, if someone could point out shorter, but great pieces that test ones technical skill and sounds impressive I would really appreciate it.

Any liszt etude, listen to them and then pick one. They are all hard. Or go listen to all chopin etudes too.

You could try Liszt's Dante Sonata, but it's a bit long, but not too much.

A Beethoven or Mozart sonata.

What's with everybody and Liszt and Chopin etudes?

Has Debussy left the Earth?

You need more than a piano, two hands and a brain to play music. You also need hot sauce.
