It's been a while since I posted anything. I have been juggling classical guitar and piano since early this year - classical guitar won for a while because of recitals and a master class, but now I want to give piano more attention. I have been working on piano a little bit and have begun playing some of the Bach Two-Part Inventions (#1 and #2) as well as some Bach from an early intermediate level book that I had when I was younger and playing. I wanted to get suggestions on some other stuff that I could work on while looking for a teacher. I love Bach (play it on guitar too), but really want to branch out to something different.
I apologize that this has more or less been asked before. I do have some other information and wanted to get more options. I appreciate it -

Chopin - some easier Preludes, Mazurkas
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Have you ever tried any Bartok? For intermediate levels, you might try Sketches, Op. 9 or Mikrokosmos Vol. 4/5 or the Rumanian Folk Dances.
