Thanks, pianoloverus! Do you have any pieces that you'd like to suggest then? smile


Be greater than average.

Mendelssohn - Rondo Capriccioso Op.14 is such a lonely tale.
Rachmaninoff - Prelude Op.32 No.10 is the theme to my life right now.

The Bach Two part Inventions seem appropriate. I would listen to them on Youtube and choose the ones that appeal to you.

I would also suggest the Beethoven Sonatina in G and some of the easier Clementi and Diabelli Sonatinas.

You might enjoy some of Johann Burgmüller's music, available on IMSLP (Op. 100 I think).

Thanks. I also like Rach's Prelude Op.32 No.10, but that seems too advanced.

Man I am way too impatient. I just want to play all of these beautiful pieces now!

How about Shostakovich's Prelude Op 87 No 2? It also has a single melody line shared between the hands. Much tougher than Solfeggietto though.

The sheet music is not on IMSLP since Op 87 is still under copyright, but it's available from at least one Russian publisher. I found mine on Amazon.
