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.

https://www.geocities.com/alfredcortot/<-- link to the chopin's etude (by cortot).

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?

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