Pieces?
on: June 18, 2005, 08:05:43 PM
I just finished Mozart's 'Turkish March' and I have absolutely no idea what to learn next.

Can you recommend me some pieces which are as hard as this piece (I think it's grade 5 or 6)?

Learn the rest of that sonata! (A Major, K.331)

or maybe a Beethoven sonata (Op. 49, Op. 14 or Op. 79)?

I would suggest the Beethoven 6 Variations on a Duet by Paisiello.

Waltz like op34N°1, op64N°2, nocturne op32N°2, 37N°1, étude op10N°6...
Liszt Consolations, Debussy Arabesques, Ravel pavane pour une infante défunte. Rach's C#minor prelude.

If you were to play a Debussy arabesque, play the first one over second one, it is not as difficult and sounds much more flowing.

He may try a Mazurka...op68 for example, they are easy to play. Some of the preludes...the 15 is overplayed.....But it is a good piece. Concerning Debussy Docteur Gradus ad Parnassum (Children corner N°1 ) is good too.

Hahahahaha

Chopin mazurkas are nearly impossible to bring off rhythmically. I have yet to hear a performance of one that sounds just natural.
