My teacher suggested I start some new pieces by learning the dynamics in the very beginning instead of waiting until I know all the notes as a change from what I currently do. She thinks it might make a difference in my final product.

What pieces would work for this?I have Frances Clark's Supplementary Solos Lv. 1 and Levels 3&4. I have Andrew Lloyd Webber's Easy Piano book. But I prefer Bach's Little Preludes. I have spent 4 months on Bach's Preludes in F Major and D Minor. I'm memorizing the easy version of Traumerei that I found on the Pianoforums.I'm playing Comme Au Premier Jour by Gagnon, Sonatina in F Major by Beethoven, and the Andante movement of Beethoven's Symphony No.5.

What pieces should I be looking at for some dynamic work?

Moonlight 2nd movement will be great for it. it's short but has several dynamic changes over different sections. the difficult part of this is to bring up voice lines at the same time.

also, i'd suggest you look for some movements in Clementi sonatas. Clementi's work contain drastic dynamic changes (such as pp->ff, things like that) within some even short passages. it will be good training on dynamics control for sure.

Thanks, Signa
I found a copy of Clementi's Sonatina, Op 36, No 1 in my easy classics book. It provides me with a different focus, thinking mostly dynamics and not note reading. I'm enjoying it.
