advanced piano pieces?

Question:

Intermediate/advanced piano pieces?

im in about level 5 i think, but i dont play out of lesson books anymore because i need to get a new teacher very soon. do you know any piano pieces that would be good for me to play. i like classical stuff like moonlight sonata, phantom of the opera and memory from cats, but im looking for something a little bit more challenging like hungarian rhapsody. i know many by motzart, beethoven and such but i would like some more variety =] thanks!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I think you should probably wait to tackle the Hungarian Rhapsody, so here is a list of songs that you will need to finish before trying your selection :
Schubert, impromtus op. 90, no. 1,3,4
Haydn Sonata in e-minor ( especially the first and second mov'ts.
Perhaps even the Kuhlau books of sonatinas ( there are 2) would help you under stand the Sonata Allegro form)
Mozart, Fantasie in dm and cm (kv 475)
Brahms, Capriccio in dm, no. 3 op. 116
Liszt Nocturne no. 2 and Consolation no.2

This is a preliminary list that should take you some time, but the pieces will definitely put you beyond level 5. I would recommend starting with the Mozart Fantasie (dm) and then the Schubert Inpromtus.

You may also want to look into the Schumann "Papillions", as a great study exercise. I think from you "level 5" comment you are in NYSSMA, so if you are and live in the hudson valley region, I HIGHLY recommend using the staff at Kingston Conservatory of Music.

Please let me know if I can be of more help.
