What are some fun pieces to play?  Please name one for each level, that is: Easy, Intermediate and Hard.   ;D
I scare people; people scare me; it's a mutual thing!!!

Allegro Barbaro by Bartok is really fun if you have had a bad day. Also, any Joplin rags or I guess Gershwin. I have no idea what "level" these pieces would fall under though . . .

Proko's Suggestion Diabolique is really funny, it is middle-Hard
Proko's Toccata funny if you are a really good pianist HARD HARD HARD
Some Rach prelude ....Hard
Ravel's Toccata from " le tombeau de Couperin" and Khatchatourian's toccata(the easiest Toccata of the group)

:D All Toccata are fun to play (is it a definition? )

Liszt HRs The end of da 6 with these octaves, look one at Cziffra (really hard)
Liszt GGC(grand galop Chromatique) Really hard too

Something easier: Chopin Military Polonaise,minute waltz, Ligueti musica ricercatas
