Does a question have to be phrased like an intellectual repartee for the afficionados to open it?
I asked a question about piano music recommendations. I wasn’t looking for Satie or Yiruma. Not exactly. I am a very advanced pianist and was looking for intriguing suggestions to play at an elderly facility at tea time.
I am also a terrific sight-reader. I sight-read six LATE Lyric Pieces by Grieg as well as two long Chopin nocturnes today. I don’t play “Bella’s Lullaby” or “Amelie’s Valse” on a regular basis, so you can relax.
I looked pretty desperate today because I had to play for an hour and a half and I ran out of pieces after an hour. I don’t like repeating anything. I don’t think it’s very conscientious because it really doesn’t take much effort for me to print new music. Now, would you PLEASE share your knowledge?
Any Schubert that I should look into? Any Liszt (I forgot the consolations! I should get them!)…any other Liszt? Any fun Baroque works that they would enjoy?
Thanks by the way!
Well, if you really think Beethoven are appropriate for TEA TIME…then, yes, that’s an “obvious” answer.
I like Bach’s Aria though. I’m playing and have performed the Mozart sonata several times along with the Chopin preludes.
