I need some music. I`ve been working out of books my whole piano life. It would be great if someone could tell me some music to play that`s the full version of some hard classical or romantic period piece or any other like it. Thanks

Thanks. I`ll look.

Start some Bach Well-tempered Klavier (prelude and fugues) and Beethoven piano Sonatas. Some say they are the bibles of Baroque and Classical periods.

I`m learning Moonlight Sonata right now. I`ve learned the first movement. Moving onto the second. Thanks.

I prefer to play shorter pcs..as they`re technically challenging, yet interesting...U can try Beethoven`s 32 Viariations or , my fav. Gershwin`s prelude. Have a zippy day!

Ok, thanks.

Well there is loads and loads of difficult music from the romantic period, as this was the age of the virtuoso.

Probably the ultimate is the cadenza from the first movement of Rachmaninoff`s Piano Concerto No.3. But if you`re sure that you don`t want to learn part of something I would recomend pretty much anything by Rachmaninoff, have a listen to his Preludes (Op23 and Op32). Also have a look at Mussourgsky`s Pictures at an Exhibition, parts of that are pretty hard, and it`s 20 minutes long.
Hope this helps.
