another pitch for the Brahms Intermezzos. Unlike Andantina I couldn't sight read thru them with a gun to my head.

umm...

Bartok - Three Rondos on Folk Tunes. (this is rather torturous and I'm hoping to be finished with it soon!)

Grieg - A few lyric pieces: Wedding Day at Troldhaugen (Haven't played this for a few weeks, but am supposed to be polishing it), Notturno, March of the Trolls, Ase's Death...

Shostakovich - Fantastic Dances. These are fun--short and sweet

Haydn - a sonata... unsure which one, sorry

Lecuona - Malaguena, Danza Negra, and Danza Lucumi


Wish I could play harder stuff! *practices furiously*

Organ

Bach Prelude and Fugue in e minor "the cathedral" BWV 533

Bach "Von Gott will ich nicht lassen" BWV 658 from 18 Chorale Preludes

CV Stanford #5 Trio from 6 Short Preludes and Postludes Set 2

Various hymns and pedal exercises by Nilson

Lately I've been working on:

• Schumann Romance in F#, Op. 28 No. 2
• Haydn Sonata in B Minor, Hob. XVI/32
• Shostakovich Preludes Op. 34 Nos. 8, 9, 13, 14, 21, and 22

Yep, its one of my favourites - I'm also a fan of Nelson Friere.

Hey Sheherezade,

How are you liking A Wedding Day at Troldhaugen? I played it a couple of years ago, and lately I've been recycling it a bit, because I find it a very enjoyable piece. If you're having any trouble with it let me know, and I'll see if there is anything I can do to help.

Not very impressive, in fact somwhat lousy compared to most of the people on this forum, but for what it is worth here it is
Bach: Prelude and Fuge in C minor #II from The WTC
Beethoven: Sonata in C minor Pathetique
Chopin: Nocturne Op.15 No.3

I've definately enjoyed playing it also. Thanks for the helpful offer. I don't have any specific problems with it at the moment... just have to force myself to slow it down to get it under control every so often as I memorize it and work out some nuances. I love that there is so much room for expression in this piece.

Various Hymns
Polishing Solfigetto and Croatian Rhapsody
Let there be peace on earth.
Czerny stuffs

Beethoven Sonata op. 2, no. 3
Beethoven Concerto No. 3
Schumann-Liszt "Widmung"

Chopin Etude Op. 25, No. 5
Bartok Suite

WOW! how fast do you play the octave section? I am working on this one too. At the moment, I am quite comfortable at 108 all the way to the end; for the left hand too. I am really trying to get to 112 but it's so darn hard even to play 1 bpm faster in the last page.

That's really good that you know to play it slow. There are some pretty tricky rythms there and the only way to ingrain them in your mind and fingers is by playing it slow and evaluating each rythm. And yes, you're right about the expression part. In the poco tranquillo part, I play it through softly and sort of transparently the first time and then when it repeats I play it more clear and sharp and a little louder. Keep up the good work!

On Violin:

I am going to start on Liszt's "A la chapelle Sixtine" - I am producing a home made CD and thought it would be nice to put it on there (my wife likes the piece too, which helps!)

I'm going to be working on Chopin's etude op. 10 no. 1 for the rest of my life. Should be pretty good by the time I'm 60 or so.
