amazing creations, are they not?!

The preludes are more familiar to me, along with the orchestral works. I will see if I have them in score form and will check them out if I do.

He's more natural (to me) than Liszt, whom he writes more or less alike. I only get confused by the impressive amount of sharps and etc . I never heard these sonatas, with whom do you recommend them?

...Horowitz!

His later works are extremely unique as he developed a very personal and mystical style. His 5th Sonata marks this change. Another great piano piece is his, "Towards the Flame" and his tone poem for orchestra ,"Promethus- The Poem of Fire". Check these out!

Well, it's my turn...! I'm a beginner, and I'm learning :

* Mozart: K545, Piano sonata in C "Sonata facile"

* Clementi : Sonatine Op.36 no.2

*Italin Song, by Tchaikovsky (From his Children's album)

I've finished Beethoven Sonatine in G since a few days..

I think I'm in grade 3 ? Anyone have any idea about grading in piano playing ? Where would be Mozart K545?

I've just change of teacher this days, so I'm trying to adjust myself to his teaching way, but I'm working right now on:

- Well-tempered Clavier (I'm on the 23 prelude and fugue).
- Sonata Op.101 Beethoven.
- Etude Op.25 No. 5 Chopin.
- Prelude Prelude in G- Op.23 No.5 and Op.32 No.12 Rachmaninnov.
- Schumann A minor concerto... just cool.

Its a lot of work to me, but I'm happy with mi pieces.

Rep-wise:

I am playing Bach WTC c min. bk 2. I've known it for a while.

I have been learning the Chopin Barcarolle. Almost done. I have worked on this piece by looking at the music away from the piano and then playing it--never having the music at the piano. Interesting experiment.

Reading-wise:
I have been working through the Beethoven quartets. I'm on the last op. 59.
Persichetti sontatas--lots of fun.
Yesterday, inspired by Sorrano, read through Beethoven 3rd concerto.
Really want to try playing Bach inventions in different keys as reading exercise.

Composing-wise:
Finished a big first movement of piano sonata. Not sure if I like it. Working on second.
Having some things published. Very exciting.

BW,
Chopin c# minor etude: doesn't require big stretch as much as fast rolling wrist, etc. I once saw a boy about ten do a good job on this piece.

Lars-FM,
Have you considered Vallee d'Obermann?
