Well I enjoyed what he thought and felt he knew a lot more about classical music than I did. Not really a question of competition. Just more of a: "I've run out of ideas and I feel Empyrean knows more and can suggest better". No need to escalate. I just felt more respectable towards what Empyrean thinks, but that's fine if you construe it as something else. | ||

My personal suggestions. Or if you want a bit more difficulty. | ||
Empyrean

Both of those suggestions seem like they're too difficult for the OP to play as well. | ||

Both of those suggestions seem like they're too difficult for the OP to play as well. The first one isn't that bad technically, and is kind of cute. The second is pretty gosu though...it's just awesome though. For another random cute song, try Beethoven's Bagetelle op.33 #3...I think. At work, so I can't youtube it. Edit: http://216.129.110.22/files/imglnks/usimg/3/35/IMSLP00947-Beethoven_-_Bagatelles__Opus_33_.pdf Sheet music link. Look for number 3 for the one I was talking about. All of them are pretty cool though. | ||

I'm trying to learn it on my own, and getting the right hand runs down smoothly is a major pain in the rear for my perfectionist self. Any tips that you can remember for getting it to sound light and smooth? I have the notes down perfectly, but when i play it it's so choppy. I've practiced it really slowly and sped up, etc, etc, the normal tips for fast runs like this, but its the "chord transition" that kill me, aka the switches from thumb to 3/4/whatever you start with. I hope you know what I'm talking about lol. | ||

I haven't tried it before, but isn't making the Op. 7 sound good really difficult? I can't imagine the first movement being anything other than a nightmare. | ||

That's a very easy and pretty piece. I also like Golliwog's Cakewalk if you can handle the constant chord jumping in the left hand: That's all I can really think of for now that fits your criteria. I was in your same boat about 2-3 years ago, but I've since started practicing again sporadically. I've been trying to learn the Schumann concerto for the past few months, and I'm about halfway through the first movement, haha. I don't think I ever had fun playing piano until I stopped taking lessons and started just learning whatever I want. | ||

Not actually hard and enjoyable to play. If you want something really relaxing, you can try this one. Technically shouldn't be a problem. Some ravel. Although many debussy or ravel might fit the bill. | ||

on the contrary, I've always found playing piano fun, lesson or not. I am willing to admit that this may not be true if you have a shoddy teacher. | ||
