Okay, I could use some help.

I just finished his Humoreske, and need something new to play.

Any and all suggestions are welcome, but I think I'd prefer a medium length piece to a shorter work, so give it your best shot!

Thanks


Playing piano is 90% mental, the other half is physical.

4th moment musical is a great choice. I played it last year and had very much fun with it. However, you should consider its technical challenge.

At the least, it looks "demanding". After listening to it it sounds like a great work of art. I'll add it to the list of possibilites!

Thanks

I'm a big fan of the D Minor Prelude, Op. 23 No. 3 and the Elegy, Op. 3 No. 1.

I like G Minor prelude but it's a bit hackneyed.

I would also suggest the E minor prelude op. 32, the G# minor prelude op. 32, or the C minor prelude op. 23.

It IS demanding. I would recommend hearing Lugansky (he's at least the closest to my interpretation).

The g minor etude tableau from op. 33 is both profoundly beautiful and technically approachable.

I played whole op.3 Rach. I loved Melodia, and Elegia as well as Polichinelle. I don't know about Cis-moll prelude, but it is not that hard like the above mentioned.
