Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata (no. 29) Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata (no. 21) Bach's Goldberg Variations You can get some nice free insight from http://music.guardian.co.uk/classical/page/0,,1943867,00.html | ||

If you wanna try playing something hellish, you could try Ravel's Scarbo, from Gaspard de la Nuit. | ||

also, just a little note, i kinda wanna stay away from one of chopins opus 25 etudes, winter winds is enough for now and transcendental etudes/scarbo would actaully be AMAZING but it would take forever to learn | ||

The second cadenza in the Liebestraume you're playing is a very simple downwards chromatic progression. Not to disparage it or anything, but it's pretty much mindless in the sense that once you know the "trick", it's very, very simple. If you compare it to sections in some other pieces with more tricky fingerings, not as obvious progressions/patterns, etc., it's technically a lot easier than lots of his other stuff. (The first cadenza is more difficult, actually). Hell, even the sustained difficulty of some of his other etudes are technically harder than that cadenza (pages of the first edition to some of his paganini etudes, for example). Anyway, I'm not such a big Liszt fan...which isn't to disparage his pieces, or anything. I do enjoy them to some extent. To get some useful suggestions, what pieces have you finished? | ||

Greatest Fugue of all time. I know you wanted Classical but I hope Baroque is alright? I don't think anything else can compare to this. Edit: Proper link. | ||
