OP Moo :) 2000 Post Club Member M Joined: Jul 2017 Posts: 2,598	I'm in the process of buying some more piano music. I want to find some spikey chordal type pieces. I have some examples of similar pieces but I'm looking for something easier than the suggestions. Any suggestions ? Rach - G minor prelude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2GKgFZ_ioQ Schumann - Novelleten 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBz7i9gVa20 Listz - Mephisto Waltz 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOBzCoOxJcw Thanks x

The biggest challenge even before getting to the section with chords is that the first verse is left hand alone, melody and accompaniment; a good test of one's voicing skills.

OP Moo :) 2000 Post Club Member M Joined: Jul 2017 Posts: 2,598	Thank you for the recommendations. I have ordered the Brahms Waltzes Op.39 and the Schumann's Fantasy Pieces Op.12 Originally Posted by petebfrance Some Schubert 'Moments Musicaux' D780 are I think what you mean by chordal and 'very approachable,' in particular (in sequence of 'how appropriate'?) no6 at 16.56 in the link no 2 at 3.20 no 5 at 14.43 is I guess, but not one I've played through. oh, and no 3 at 8.58 I think is just nice, but not 'chordal': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj3ok01A7KU Thank you for the suggestion. I have played no 3 musical moment before which is very good piece. Musical moment 5 is quite an exciting piece and my favourite. I have a book with all the Schubert Impromptu and musical moments. I am learning impromptu 3 at the moment. Last edited by Moo :); 04/22/19 05:07 PM.

The recommendation was to buy Henle online. My teacher told me that Boosey and Hawkes is a good option but is expensive. I am using this oppurtunity to buy some more scores. Melody from op 3 (which my teachers recommendation and my first choice) was unplayable because there as so many wrong notes so I went for Serenade. I'm most likely will be playing Melody after I finish learning the Serenade which is nearly ready. Melody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fwT1oBkOhc I generally buy a few books so will take the Brahms and Schumann suggestions when I finish Impromtu 3 which may take a while longer. I normally pick with my teacher in the lesson. This is how I pick my pieces now and seems to work better.
